Oh my Pa-Pa, to me he was so wonderful
Oh my Pa-Pa, to me he was so good
No one could be so gentle and so loveable
Oh my Pa-Pa, he always understood
Gone are the days when he would take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter
Oh my Pa-Pa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown, so funny in his way
Oh my Pa-Pa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today
Gone are the days when he would take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter
Oh my Pa-Pa, to me he was so wonderful,
Deep in my heart I miss him so today.
Oh my Pa-Pa
Oh my-y Pa-Pa
