Everyday my papa would work to help to make ends meet
To see that we would eat (to) keep those shoes upon my feet
Every night my papa world take and tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head after all my prayers were said
Growing up with him was easy time just flew on by
The years began to fly he aged and so did I

I could tell, (that) mama wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she, So did she
When she died, (my) papa broke down and cried
All he said was, God, why not take me!

Nhớ những năm xa xưa ngày cha đã già với bao sầu lo
Nhớ đến năm xưa còn thơ, đêm đêm về Cha hôn tráng con
Mãi khắc ghi trong tim lời khuyên của người với bao tình thương
Hãy sống sao cho thật tốt không lo đời chê ta xấu xa

I could tell, (that) mama wasn't well
Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she
When she died, (my) papa broke down and cried
All he said was, God, why not take me!

Every night he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair
He never went upstairs all because she wasn't there
Then one day my papa said: “Son, now you have the way you've grown”
Make it on your own oh, i'll be ok alone

Every time 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 live that every day
He taught me well that way
Every night my papa (would ) take and tuck me in my bed
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said
Every night my papa would take and tuck me in my bed
