And he never made a fortune
but he said he was the richest of all men
He and Mama had that spark
diapers through the years
For what little that they had
when supper time was near
to wipe our tears and hug us tight
He never worked a day too late
Sometimes the road got thin and rough
And he could be old -fashioned tough
But when it came to love,
Those years are buried now,
tasting Mama's apple tarts
I hope that I can someday be
half the man that my daddy was
Cause even half the daddy
to wipe our tears and hug us tight
He never worked a day too late
Sometimes the road got thin and rough
And it could be old -fashioned tough
But when it came to love,
Daddy taught us from the book
The Lord will give us everything we need
And Daddy always had enough
to wipe our tears and hug us tight
He never worked a day too late
Sometimes the road got thin and rough
And it could be old -fashioned tough
But when it came to love,
And he could be old -fashioned tough
But when it came to love,
