Papa Lyrics - Paul Anka

Everyday my papa would work 

To hope to make ends meet 

To see that we would eat 

Keep those shoes upon my feet 

Every night my papa would take and 

Tuck me in my bed 

Kiss me on my head 

Growing up with them was easy 

The time had flew on by 

The years began to fly 

They aged and so did I 

And I could tell 

That mama she wasn't well 

Papa knew and deep down so did she 

So did she 

When she died

Papa broke down and cried 

And all he could say was, "God, why her? Take me!" 

Everyday he sat there sleeping in his walking chair 

He never went upstais 

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 O.K. alone." 

He said, "There are things that you must do" 

He said, "There's places you must see" 

And his eyes were sad as he 

As he said goodbye to me 

Every time I kiss my children

Papa's words ring true 

He said, "Children live through you. 

Let them grow! They'll leave you, too" 

I remember every word Papa used to say 

I kiss my kids and pray 

That they'll think of me 

Oh how I pray 

They will think of me 

That way 

Someday
