My Pa can light my room at night

With just his being near

And make a fear for dream all right

By grinning ear to ear

My Pa can do most anything

He sets his mind to do

He'd even move a mountain

If he really wanted to

My Pa can sweeten up her day

That clouds and rain make gray

And tell me funny stories

That will chase the clouds away

My Pa's the only one on earth

I can tell my troubles to

His arms are house and home to me

His face's a pretty poem to me

My Pa's the finest friend I ever knew

I only wish that you could know him too
