Papa

Dm

Everyday my papa worked

Gm

To help to make ends meet

A7

To see that we would eat

Dm

(To) keep those shoes upon my feet

Dm

Every night my papa would take

Gm

And tuck me in my bed

A7

Kiss me on my head

Dm

After all my prayers were said

Dm

Growing up with him was easy

Gm

Time just flew on by

A7

The years began to fly

Dm

He aged and so did I

Bb C

I could tell

A7 Dm

That mama wasn't well

Bb C F

Papa knew and deep down so did she

A7

So did she

Bb C

When she died

A7 Dm

My papa broke down and cried

Bb Gm A7

All he said was, "God, Why not take me!"

Dm Gm

Every night he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair

A7

He never went upstairs

Dm

All because she wasn't there

Dm

Then one day my Papa said,

Gm

"Son, I'm proud (of) the way you've grown

A7

Make it on your own

Dm

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
