Everyday my papa would work
To try to make
ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep
those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa
would take me
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me
on my head
After all my prayers were
said
And there were years
Of sadness and of
tears
Through it all
Together we were
strong
We were strong
Times were
rough
But Papa he was tough
Mama stood
beside him all along

Growing up with them
was easy
The time had flew on by
The years
began to fly
They aged and so did I
And I
could tell
That mama she wasn't well
Papa
knew and deep down so did she
So did
she
When she died
Papa broke down and he
cried
And all he could say was, "God, why
her? Take me!"
Everyday he sat there
sleeping in a rocking chair
He never went
upstais
Because she wasn't there

Then
one day my Papa said,
"Son, I'm proud of
how you've grown"
He said, "Go out
and make it on your own.
Don't worry. I'm O.K.
alone."
He said, "There are things
that you must do"
He said, "There's
places you must see"
And his eyes were
sad as he
As he said goodbye to
me

Every time I kess my children
Papa's
words ring true
He said, "Children live
through you.
Let them grow!  They'll leave
you, too"
I remember every word Papa used
to say
I kiss my kids and pray
That they'll
think of me
Oh how I pray
They will think
of me
That way
Someday
