My Pa can light my room at night With 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 her 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
