Lyrics:

Theres a man at my house hes so big and strong
He goes to work each day, 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 hows my child
Ive been studying hard all day in school
Tryin to understand the golden rule

Think Ill color this man father
I think Ill color him love
Said Im gonna color him father
I think Ill color the man love, yes I will

He says education is the thing if you wanna compete
Because without it son, life aint very sweet
I love this man I dont know why
Except Ill need his strength till the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadnt been for him she wouldnt have found her way
My real old man he got killed in the war
And she knows she and seven kids couldnt of got very far
She said she thought that she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin

Think Ill color this man father
I think Ill color him love
Said Im gonna color him father
I think Ill color the man love, yes I will
