Tom Jones sings Papa

Everyday my papa would work

To try to make ends meet

To see that we would eat

Keep those shoes upon my feet

Everynight my papa would take me

And tuck me in my bed

Kiss me on my head

After all my prayers were said

There were years of sadness and of tears

But through it all, together, we were strong

Times were rough, but papa, he was tough

And mama stood beside him all along

Growing up with them was easy

Time just flew on by

The years began to fly, so they aged

And so did i

I could tell that mama wasnt well

Papa knew and deep down so did she

And when she died, papa broke down and cried

All he said was god why her take me

Everyday he sat there sleeping

In his rocking chair

He never went upstairs

All because she wasnt there

And one day he said my son

Im proud the way you've grown

Go out there on your own

Ill be alright alone

There are things that you must do

Places you must see

His eyes were sad as he

Said goodbye to me

Everytime i kiss my children

Papa's words ring true

Your children live through you

They'll grow and leave you too

I remember every word

My papa used to say

I see my kids and pray

They think of me that way
