DADDY'S SONG
1) I drive along, it's a cool night in September
I'm feeling good, but a little bit down.
This night my daddy is all I do remember
and in my head it's spinning around.
Ch) He said “George my live is over, but Yours has just begun,
therefore go on like I did on my way.
Don't get into trouble, and listen what I say,
thoughts as white as snow they can make a happy day”.
2) The radio is on and someone keeps on singing, a song of love in a family.
Daddy's life was hard but faith was in him. recall that day he spoke to me.
