Within My Father's Arms

I still remember daddy's smile And though it's been a long, long, while I still can hear his voice, so soft and low And In my mind, I see his eyes so blue Just like the summer skies I still recall how safe I was Within my father's arms His big hands hard and callused From working hard each day But never once Did I hear him complain His eyes would fill with love and pride Each time my mother smiled His voice turned soft Each time he spoke to me Daddy's gone, but in my heart I know he'll always stay No one can take his memory away He calm my fears and dry my tears And helped me through life's storms Somehow I knew that I was safe Within my father's arms Each night I'd kneel beside his knee A story he would tell, to me Of wondrous things That happened years before He'd brush my hair and teach me songs And mother always sang along How good it was, to feel so safe Within my father's arms Daddy's gone, but in my heart I know he'll always stay No one could take his memory away He'd calm my fears and dry my tears And helped me through life's storms Somehow I knew that I was safe Within my father's arms Somehow I knew that I was safe Within my father's arms
