Everyday my papa would work to help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat (to) keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa world take and tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head after all my prayers were said
Growing up with him was [Am7]easy time just flew on [C7]by
The years began to [C7]fly he aged and [Bm]so did I
I could tell, (that) mama wasn't well
Papa knew and [Bm]deep down so did she, So did she
When she died, (my) papa broke down and [Bm]cried
All he said was, God, why not take me!
Nhớ những năm xa xưa ngày cha đã già với bao sầu lo
Nhớ đến năm xưa còn thơ, đêm đêm về Cha hôn tɾáng con [C7]
Mãi khắc ghi tɾong [Am]tim lời khuyên của người với bao tình [Bm]thương
Hãy sống sao cho thật tốt không lo đời chê ta xấu xa
I could tell, (that) mama wasn't well
Papa knew and [Bm]deep down so did she, so did she
When she died, (my) papa broke down and [Bm]cried
All he said was, God, why not take me!
Every night he sat there sleeping in his ɾocking chair
He never went upstairs all [Em]because she wasn't there
Then one day my [A]papa said: “Son, now you [A7have the way you've grown”
Make it on [C7]your own oh, i'll be [Am]ok alone
Every time I kiss my [A]children papa's words ɾing tɾue
Your children live through you
They'll grow and [Bm]leave you, too
I ɾemember every word my [A]papa used to [C7]say
I live that every day
He taught me well that way
Every night my [A]papa (would ) take and [Bm]tuck me in my [A]bed
Kiss me on [C7]my [A]head
After all [Em]my [A]prayers were said
Every night my [A]papa would take and [Bm]tuck me in my [A]bed
