Key:
Dm
Singer/Band:
Paul Anka
Tone [Dm] Capo 1st fret
DmEveryday my papa would work
GmTo try to make ends meet
A7To see that we would eat
Keep those Dmshoes upon my feet
DmEvery night my papa would take me
GmAnd tuck me in my bed
A7Kiss me on my head
After Dmall my prayers were said
A#And there were Cyears
Of A7sadness and of Dmtears
A#Through it all
To Cgether we were Fstrong
We were A7strong
A#Times were Crough
But A7Papa he was Dmtough
A#Mama stood be Gmside him all a A7long
DmGrowing up with them was easy
GmThe time had flew on by
The A7years began to fly
They Dmaged and so did I
A#And I could Ctell
That A7mama she wasn't Dmwell
A#Papa knew and Cdeep down so did Fshe
So did A7she
A#When she Cdied
A7Papa broke down and he Dmcried
And A#all he could say
was, Gm"God, why her? Take A7me!"
DmEveryday he sat there
sleeping Gmin a rocking chair
A7He never went upstais
DmBecause she wasn't there
DmThen one day my Papa said,
"Son, I'm Gmproud of how you've grown"
A7He said, "Go out and make it on your own.
Don't Dmworry. I'm O.K. alone."
He said, Dm"There are things that you must do"
He said, Gm"There's places you must see"
And his A7eyes were sad as he
As he Dmsaid goodbye to me
DmEvery time I kiss my children
GmPapa's words ring true
He said, A7"Children live through you.
Let them Dmgrow! They'll leave you, too"
DmI remember every word GmPapa used to say
I A7kiss my kids and pray
That they'll Dmthink of A#me C
That Dmway Gm Dm
Someday A# C Dm
