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