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...
