Daddy was always an honest man

He spoke with his heart and helped with his hands

There wasn't a stranger he didn't soon know

I watched him build bridges wherever he'd go

Daddy was a farmer, always out in the field

We never had money, but there was always a meal

He counted his blessings and the Bible he read

I'll never outgrow the words that he said

CHORUS:

If I possessed all the wealth in the world

It would not be enough to survive

When I look in the eyes of my children and wife

I can see I've been given the finer things in life

Now I'm a daddy with two little ones

The first a shy princess, then a curious son

Well, they never knew their Grandpa too well

But his message of love I'll continue to tell

(CHORUS)
