Em
Every day my papa would work To
Am
help to make ends meet
B7
To see that we would eat
Em
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Em
Every night my papa would take and
Am
Tuck me in my bed
B7
Kiss me on my head
Em
After all my prayers were said
Em
Growing up with him was easy
Am
Time just flew on by
B7
The years began to fly
Em
He aged and so did I
C D B7 Em
I could tell that mama wasn't well
C D G B7
Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she
C D B7 Em
When she died, Papa broke down and cried
C Am B7
All he said was, "God, why not take me?"
Every night he sat there sleepin'
In his walkin' 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"
Em
Every time I kiss my children
Am
Papa's words ring true
B7
Your children live through you
Em
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 me
And tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
All my prayers were said
Every night, my papa would take me
And tuck me in my bed
Tuck me in my bed
All my prayers were said
