Lyrics

That Was Your Dad (J. Fuller, Copyright 2002)


VERSE 1: Mama tell me a story, about somebody brave....
a soldier, or a cowboy that rides the open range.
Mama make him the good guy, so I can have sweet dreams,
so if the monster comes out, from under my bed, my hero will
come rescue me....

VERSE 2: Son I’ll tell you a tale, about a knight who was brave, but sweet....
How he rescued a damsel, then swept her off her feet.
He was strong as a bear, this man, but he could laugh like a clown,
but one September day, he was lost in the flames,
of two castles, burning down....

CHORUS: So if you ever feel a kiss on your cheek, and you open your eyes,
but there’s no one to see, should the stars look down, from the sky, and sing
to you a lullabye, then be glad.... That Was Your Dad.

VERSE 3: This knight rode a steel horse, of fire engine red.....
he was the bravest, of all the men he lead,
he wore a bright colored uniform, and a helmet was his crown,
and he answered the call, when the sky began to fall,
and the towers came tumblin’ down.....

CHORUS: So if you ever feel a kiss on your cheek, and you open your eyes, but
there’s no one to see, should the stars look down, from the sky, and sing to
you, a lullabye, then be glad....That Was Your Dad.

BRIDGE: God called him away before you arrived....
you will meet your hero in another time...so dry your eyes.....

VERSE 4: Tell your mama a story, about a boy who was brave....
Who says his prayers, does his homework....got some pennies saved.
He’ll be strong as a bear, this boy, but he will laugh like a clown,
and he understands, he’ll grow to be a man, that would make his
Daddy proud....

CHORUS and OUT
