There's a man in my house, he's so big and strong
Goes to work each day and he stays all day long
Comes home each night lookin' 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 say that I've been studyin' hard all day in school
Tryin' very hard to understand the golden rule
I think I'll color him 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 complete
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 I die
I think I'll color him father
I'm gonna color him love
I've got 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 have gotten very far
She said to God 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 him father
I'm gonna color him love
I've got to color him father
Believe I'll color him love
