Lyrics
0:25Everyday my papa worked
0:28To help to make ends meet
0:32To see that we would eat
0:35(To) keep those shoes upon my feet
0:41Every night my papa would take
0:44And tuck me in my bed
0:49Kiss me on my head
0:52After all my prayers were said
0:57Growing up with him was easy time just flew on by
1:04The years began to fly
1:09He aged and so did I
1:14I could tell
1:16That mama wasn't well
1:21Papa knew and deep down so did she
1:26So did she
1:30When she died
1:33My papa broke down and cried
1:37All he said was God Why not take me
1:45Every night he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair
1:52He never went upstairs
1:56All because she wasn't there
2:01Then one day my Papa said
2:04Son I'm proud (of) the way you've grown
2:08Make it on your own
2:12I'll be O.K. alone
2:17Every time I kiss my children
2:21Papa's words ring true
2:24Your children live through you
2:28They'll grow and leave you too
2:33I remember every word my papa used to say
2:40I live that every day
2:44He taught me well that way
2:49Every night my papa would take
2:52And tuck me in my bed
2:56Kiss me on my head
3:00After all my prayers were said
3:05Every night my papa would take
3:07And tuck me in my bed
3:12Tuck me in my bed
3:16After all my prayers were said
Everyday my papa worked To help to make ends meet To see that we would eat (To) keep those shoes upon my feet Every night my papa would take And tuck me in my bed Kiss me on my head After all my prayers were said Growing up with him was easy time just flew on by The years began to fly He aged and so did I I could tell That mama wasn't well Papa knew and deep down so did she So did she When she died My papa broke down and cried All he said was God Why not take me Every night he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair He never went upstairs All because she wasn't there Then one day my Papa said Son I'm proud (of) the way you've grown Make it on your own I'll be O.K. alone Every time I kiss my children Papa's words ring true Your children live through you They'll grow and leave you too I remember every word my papa used to say I live that every day He taught me well that way Every night my papa would take And tuck me in my bed Kiss me on my head After all my prayers were said Every night my papa would take And tuck me in my bed Tuck me in my bed After all my prayers were said
