Conway Twitty lyrics

I woke up cryin' late at night - when I was very young I had dreamed my father - had passed away and gone My world revolved around him - I couldn't lie there anymore So I made my way down the mirrowed hall and tapped upon his door. And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid! How would I go on, with you gone that way? Don't wanna cry anymore So may I stay with you?" And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do Everything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me ... That's my job, you see." Later we barely got along - this teenage boy and he Most of the fights it seems - were over different dreams We each held for me ... He wanted knowledge and learning - I wanted to fly out west "Said I could make it out there - if I just had the fare I got half, will you loan me the rest?" And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid Theres no guarentee in the plans I've made And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?" And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do Ev'rything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me ... That's my job, you see." Every person carves his spot - and fills the hole with life And I pray someday I might - light as bright as he. Woke up early one bright fall day - read the tragic news After all my travels, I settled down - within a mile or two I make my livin' with words and rhymes - and all the tragedies Should go into my head and out instead - as bits of poetry. But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid How will I go on - with you gone this way How can I come up - with a song to say, "I love you." "That's my job, that's what I do Ev'rything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me ... That's my job, you see." "Ev'rything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me."
