There was a wedding and church bells were ringing
I was there and heard them say I do
I was proud to see him so happy
But she's just 21 and my dad he's fifty two
Dad's been so alone since mom has been gone
And it hurts me to see him so blue
A man needs the love of a woman
But she's just 21 and my dad he's fifty two
After the wedding and church bells stopped ringing
I stayed and prayed that God would see them through
I'm so afraid she might hurt him
For she's just 21 and my dad he's fifty two
Dad's been so alone since mom has been gone
And it hurts me to see him so blue
A man needs the love of a woman
But she's just 21 and my dad he's fifty two
