I NEVER KNEW MY FATHER

KATE WOLF

Key:

Intro :

It was twenty-five years ago when I began my l ife

The second child of a w oman who tried h ard to raise us r ight

She married a m an when I was just a b abe

Who treated me just l ike his own even g iving me his n ame

I never knew my f ather I o nly knew his n ame

I never knew the w ay he moved

How he talked or w hat he said

Now I'm grown and m ama says

"You're like your d addy just the s ame"

Sometimes I got to wondering about this m an I never k new

When I'd find myself into s omething just the w ay he used to d o

Heard stories a ll my life of h ow he loved to s ing

And how he would t ake apart and f ix most anyt hing

I never knew my f ather I o nly knew his n ame

I never knew the w ay he moved

How he talked or w hat he said

Now I'm grown and m ama says

"You're like your d addy just the s ame"

I can't say that I don't care that he d ied before I was b orn

I get to asking w hy he did and I'll p robably ask some m ore

My life's b een good and I c an't say that I've had it b ad

But now I'm s eeing years that m y dad never h ad

I never knew my f ather I o nly knew his n ame

I never knew the w ay he moved

How he talked or w hat he said

Now I'm grown and my m ama says

"You're like your d addy just the s ame"
