Billy Strange - My Dad (My Pa) lyrics

My dad can light my room at night With just his being near And make a fearful dream alright By grinning ear to ear My dad can do most anything He sets his mind to do He'd even move a mountain If he really wanted to My dad can sweeten up a day That clouds and rain may And tell me funny stories That will chase the clouds away My dad's the only one on earth I can tell my troubles to His arms are house and home to me His face, a pretty poem to me My dad's the finest friend I ever knew I only wish that you could know him too
