Paul Gibson - Your Daddy Would Be Proud Lyrics

Sittin' in the shade of a tall old oak
Tryin' to sing a song that my Daddy wrote
For my Mom
His old guitar's got a broken string
But, I do my best and I try to sing his song

And as she listens
A tear comes to her eye
And I asked her
What's makin' her heart cry

She said
Your Daddy would be proud
If he could hear you now
Singin' the songs he used to sing to me
And every now and then
You sound so much like him
I could swear he's sittin' here again with me

Time went by
Mama passed away
Now Daddy sings to her every day
I know
I went on chasin' after stars
Playin' my songs on his old guitar
On I'll go

When I felt like givin' up
I always knew
If I remember Mama's words
Then I'd pull through

She said
Your Daddy would be proud
If he could hear you now
Singin' the songs he used to sing to me
And every now and then
You sound so much like him
I could swear he's sittin' here again with me

I could swear he's sittin' here again
With me
