Un classico scritto da David Abbott:
Because I've known you all my life
Because a red Rudge bicycle once made me the happiest boy on the street
Because you let me play cricket on the lawn
Because you used to dance in the kitchen with a tea-towel round your waist
Because your cheque book was always busy on my behalf
Because our house was always full of books and laughter
Because of countless Saturday mornings you gave up to watch a small boy play rugby
Because you never expected too much of me or let me get away with too little
Because of all the nights you sat working at your desk while I lay sleeping in my bed
Because you never embarrassed me by talking about the birds and the bees
Because I know there's a faded newspaper clipping in your wallet about my scholarship
Because you always made me polish the heels of my shoes as brightly as the toes
Because you've remembered my birthday 38 times out of 38
Because you still hug me when we meet
Because you still buy my mother flowers
Because you've more than your fair share of grey hairs and I know who helped put them there
Because you're a marvellous grandfather
Because you made my wife feel one of the family
Because you wanted to go to McDonalds the last time I bought you lunch
Because you've always been there when I've needed you
Because you let me make my own mistakes and never once said "I told you so."
Because you still pretend you only need glasses for reading
Because I don't say thank you as often as I should
Because it's Father's Day
Because if you don't deserve Chivas Regal, who does
