Lyrics
Daddy was a banker man, worked hard for all we had
Keeping nothing for himself, he was a perfect dad
Seems to me his family, it meant the world to him
We knew by the things he did
and the way it was back then
You see, my daddy’s good side was the only side I knew
Now I realize he did what he had to do
He taught me by example what a man should be
Now I try to measure up to his memory
Years roll by and life goes on
but one thing stays the same
Every night when I come home
his picture is in my frame
My daddy was a family man, a hero, now to me
With his ice cream and his crossword puzzle
was where he loved to be
In my heart and in my mind I can plainly see
Him sittin’ at the kitchen table listenin’ to me
My father was a good man, a hero, now to me
With his ice cream and his crossword puzzle
was where he loved to be
In my heart and in my mind I can plainly see
Him sittin’ at the kitchen table listenin’ to me
