"Daddy's Song" - The Monkees.

I think because it reminds me of The Courtship of Eddie's Father theme, as they were both written by Nillson.

I love it, too - here's my favorite lyric:

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, papa, I don't think I
Said 'I love you' near enough

It makes me misty even thinking about it!! Since Dan's gone now, I think this song is even more poignant.

and not as well known but the band Dream Theater has 2 songs that guitarist John Petrucci wrote for his father. He wrote "Another Day" when his dad was diagnosed with cancer, then he wrote "Take Away My Pain" when his dad died. 2 great songs.
