How he d hold us in his arms so tight
My little sister and I~
Saying softly how much he loved us so
But in his voice we could hear a cry~

His heart it was break'en up
At the same time protect'en ours~
Mum was out there somewhere
Break'en all her vows~

So much unselfish love he had to give
So much sincerity care stamina inner strength~
He gave his best to us for life
And to do so went to any length~

He lived and died a dedicated father
Worked hard and long and gave his all~
I'll be never be half the man he was
Before I hear my final call~

How he ever did what it was he did
For us back then and alone~
He worked and at the same time
He gave us kids a loving home~

That's the way life goes sometimes
And history repeats itself in time
As later on in my married life
I as good as ended up rais'en mine~

They say that love solves everything
Well I'm telling you it don't~
Unless there's two working as one
It never will and wont~.
