The Chi-Lites lyrics : "Let Me Be The Man My Daddy Was"

Oooh... yeah, yeah...

He's worth more than

Every star in the sky
With that look of forgiveness
That's always in his eyes


He works so hard
But gentle as a lamb

He gave up so much to make me
Just what I am and, oh


[CHORUS]
Oh, let me be
The man my daddy was

Oh, let me be
The man my daddy was


When I was young
Sometimes foolishly I played
But he reached out and, oh

Showed me the way

Now he's only human

Bound to make mistakes
But it was all right by the
Moment I would awake, and oh


[Repeat CHORUS]


Sometimes I hope
I don't live to see the day
When he reaches down

And takes them both away

Look at my children

Sometimes foolishly they play
Let me live long enough
Let me show them the way


My clothes were sometimes untidy
And that bed was never made

But mom and dad would scold me good
Never doubted I've made the grade


But now that I'm a man
I ask the Lord up above
Please let me raise my children right

And be the man my daddy was, and oh

[Repeat CHORUS]


He was a good man
He was a poor man

Yeah, yeah, mmm

Oh, let me be

The man my daddy was...
