Lyrics
Walk a little Plainer Daddy
Chorus :
Walk a little Plainer daddy
Step hard so we can tell
We’re trailing in your footsteps
Daddy and we don’t want to fail
Walk a little plainer daddy
Said a little boy so frail
I’ m trailing in your footsteps daddy
And I don’t want to fail
Sometimes your steps are plain to me
Sometimes they’re hard to see
So walk a little plainer daddy
For you are leading me.
I know you once walked this way
So many years ago
And the things you did along the way
I’d really like to know
At times when I am tempted and not sure what to do.
Your footsteps become plainer daddy and I just follow you.
Chorus :
Break
Someday when I’m grown up that part of you in me
Will turn to help my little boy
Who now wants to follow me
I know I will lead him right
The way you showed me to
Now your steps are so much plainer daddy
We can follow you
Walk a little plainer daddy
Said a little boy so frail
I’ m trailing in your footsteps daddy
And I don’t want to fail
Sometimes your steps are plain to me
Sometimes they’re hard to see
So walk a little plainer daddy
For you are leading me. ( walk a little plainer daddy you are leading me )
