Color Him Father

There's a man at my house, he's so big and strong
 He goes to work each day, and he stays all day long
 He comes home each night looking tired and beat
 He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
 Never a frown always a smile
 When he says to me, "How's my child?"
 I said that "I've been studying hard all day in school
 Tryin' very hard to understand the golden rule"
 I think I'll color this man father
 I think I'll color him love
 I'm gonna color him father
 I think I'll color him love
 He says education is a thing to compete
 Because without it, life just ain't very sweet
 I love this man and I don't know why
 Except I'll need his strength until the day that I die
 I think I'll color him father
 I'm gonna color him love
 I go to color him father
 I think I'll color him love
 Our real old man he got killed in the war
 Mom and seven kids couldn't of gotten very far
 She said she thought she could never love again
 And then there he stood with that big wide grin
 He married my mother, he took us in
 And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin
 I've got to color this man father
 I'm gonna color him love
 I've got to color him father
 I believe I'll color him...
