 Everyday my papa would work
   
LAm
To try to make ends meet
   
SI7
To see that we would eat
           
MIm
Keep those shoes upon my feet

Every night my papa would take me
    
LAm
And tuck me in my bed
SI7
Kiss me on my head
      
MIm
After all the prayers were said

Growing up with them was easy
    
LAm
The time had flew on by
    
SI7
The years began to fly
      
MIm
They aged and so did I

Papa broke down and he cried
    
DO                     
LAm                
SI7
And all he could say was, "God, why her? Take me!"

MIm                             
LAm
 Everyday he sat there sleeping in a walking chair
   
SI7
He never went upstais
      
MIm
All Because she wasn't there
                      
Then one day my Papa said,
          
LAm
"Son, I'm proud of how you've grown"
    
SI7
and make it on your own
MIm
I'm O.K. alone"

Every time I kiss my children
LAm
Papa's words ring true
          
SI7
He said, "Children live through you
         
MIm
Let them grow! They'll leave you, too"
                      
LAm
I remember every word Papa used to say
  
SI7
I kiss my kids and pray
     
MIm
That they'll think of me

Every night my papa would take me
    
LAm
And tuck me in my bed
SI7
Kiss me on my head
      
MIm
After all the prayers were said

Every night my papa would take me
    
LAm
And tuck me in my bed
SI7
Kiss me on my head
      
MIm
