Curtis

I grew up watching the way that you care

Whenever we needed you, you were right there

With you and Nanny, I had all that I need

A hardworking man planting all the right seeds

Curtis, you showed me what family is worth

The kindest and steadiest soul on this earth

I will always be proud to call you my Papa

I love you much more than a song could convey

If I turn out to be half the person you've been

I know I'll be doing alright in my day

You're full of that wisdom that money can't buy

I'll look up to you till the day that I die

I still remember the glow of the firelight

Camping together and talking all night

Fishing the lines down at old Rood Creek

Listening close when you started to speak

Every quiet moment, every lesson you taught

Was worth more to me than the fish that we caught

I will always be proud to call you my Papa

I love you much more than a song could convey

If I turn out to be half the person you've been

I know I'll be doing alright in my day

You're full of that wisdom that money can't buy

I'll look up to you till the day that I die

You took care of us all with a heart made of gold

A story of love that will never grow old

Through all of the years and the memories we've made

The light that you gave me is never gonna fade

I will always be proud to call you my Papa

I love you much more than a song could convey

If I turn out to be half the person you've been

I know I'll be doing alright in my day

You're full of that wisdom that money can't buy

I'll look up to you till the day that I die

Yeah, I will always be proud to call you my Papa
