Color Him Father

[00:18.99] There's a man in my house
[00:22.67] He's so big and strong
[00:24.45] He goes to work each day
[00:27.14] And he stays all day long
[00:29.81] He comes home each night
[00:31.65] Feeling tired and beat
[00:34.30] He sits down at the dinner table
[00:37.08] And he has a bite to eat
[00:38.86] Never a frown always a smile
[00:44.28] When he says to me how's my child
[00:48.84] I say I've been studying hard
[00:51.58] All day in school
[00:54.22] Trying very hard to understand
[00:57.85] The golden rule
[00:58.76] I think I'll color this man father
[01:03.21] Think I'll color him love
[01:08.76] Color him father
[01:12.35] Think I'll color this man love
[01:17.73] He says education is the thing
[01:22.28] If you want to complete
[01:24.14] Because without it son
[01:26.89] Life ain't very sweet
[01:29.52] I love this man and I don't know why
[01:34.04] Except I'll need his strength
[01:36.78] Until the day that I die
[01:39.45] My mother loves him and I can tell
[01:44.03] By the way she looks at him
[01:46.73] When he holds my little sister Rochelle
[01:49.48] I heard her say, just the other day
[01:53.95] That if it hadn't been for him
[01:56.65] She couldn't have found her way
[01:59.37] I think I'll color this man father
[02:01.12] Think I'm going to color him love
[02:07.41] I've got to color him father
[02:12.01] I think I'll color this man love
[02:16.54] Our real old man, he got killed in the war
[02:24.66] And she knows that she and seven children
[02:28.22] Couldn't have gotten very far
[02:30.02] She said she thought she could never love again
[02:33.63] And then there he stood, with that big, wide grin
[02:39.01] He married my mother and he took us in
[02:44.47] And now we belong to the man with the big, wide grin
[02:49.02] I've got to color this man father
[02:51.63] I'm going to color him love
[02:57.13] Gotta color him father
[03:03.48] I believe I'll color this man love
[03:08.05] Gonna color him father
[03:13.49] Gonna color him love
[03:21.54]
