Lyrics
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...
