A brilliant song from the lengendary Paul Anka. Still more to come! Intro Verse 1 Everyday my Papa would work To help to make ends meet To see that we would eat Keep those shoes upon my feet Every night my Papa would take me 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 Chorus I could tell, that Mama wasn't well Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she... When she died, Papa broke down and cried All he said was, "God, why not take me?" Verse 2 Everynight 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 the way you've grown... Make it on your own... Oh, I'll be ok alone."
