about
This song is dedicated to Fathers, all those in Armed Forces, and anyone who has ever lost someone they love.
lyrics
Papa was a solider,
Sat me down on his knee
Before he traveled over
To that war across the sea

He said, "Daddy's a strong man,
And I'm comin' home for you,"
But Mama she was cryin
I think somehow she knew
God's plan...

That summer was a long one
But each night out by the lake
I'd dip my little toes in
And as I did, I prayed

I said, "Bring Papa home, Lord,
And with all your powers above
Could you please just send him
A little piece of my love?
Our love...

CHORUS:
I thank God
For every day I had you
But I'm not
Living without you.
Your memories,
They speak to me
And all your words
Give strength me...
You're the man I wanna be.

So many summers gone, now
Yeah, that boy's nearly grown.
For all the years, he still hears
Papa's words sittin by the lake alone...

Sayin, "Got to be strong, boy
Like your Daddy was for you.
And you'll always be my little boy
No matter you do,
I'm with you..."

CHORUS:
I thank God
For every day I had you
But I'm not
Living without you.
Your memories,
They speak to me
And all your words
Give strength me...
You're the man I wanna be.

The man I wanna be...

CHORUS:
I thank God
For every day I had you
But I'm not
Living without you.
Your memories,
They speak to me
And all your words
Give strength me...
You're the man I wanna be.
