And fathers say "I love you"

In ways that words can't match--
用言語沒法比擬的方式
With tender bed time stories

Or a friendly game of catch!
或是一場友好的捉迷藏遊戲
You can see the words "I love you"

In a father's boyish eyes

When he runs home,all excited,

With a poorly wrapped surprise.

With his strong helping hands

With a smile when you're in trouble

With the way he understands.

With awkward tenderness--

It's hard to help a four-year-old into a party dress!

By giving all he can

To make some secret dream come true.
Or follow through a plan.

Sounds clearly through the years--

Sometimes in peals of laughter,

Sometimes through happy tears.

In a fashion all their own.

Is too big for words alone!
