Daddy's Song

Years ago, I knew a man He was my mother's biggest fan We used to walk beside the sea And he told me how life would be When I grew up to be a man Years ago, we used to play He used to laugh when I ran away And when I fell and hurt my knee He would run to comfort me And the pain would go away Years ago, I knew a boy He was his daddy's pride and joy But when the daddy went away It was such a rainy day That he brought out all his toys Now the mama did explain Trying to take away the pain But he just couldn't understand That his father was not a man And it all was just a game Years have passed and so have I Making it hard for me to cry And if and when I have a son Let it all be said and done Let the sadness pass him by My old man is a good man, he does the best that he can My old man is a good man, he does the best that he can
