John Kay - For The Woman In My Life lyrics

I remember I was barely four When mama told me "Daddy's gone….died in the war He won't be home again" I never knew him, a picture's all I had Mama raised me all by herself through good and bad Somehow she bore the pain She's the one who believed in me Always knew when to let me be Showed me how to keep wrong from right She was there for me day and night. I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life I have a daughter, she's an only child Like her father, she can get a little wild Nobody holds her chained Her mother raised her and bore the load, And often told her "Daddy's gone out on the road But he'll be home again" But for the time that I wasn't there When she needed a father's care I can't turn back the hands of time But let her know that I'm proud she's mine. I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life. Of all the women in my life, the one that's closest to me Is my companion, my confidant, my true and trusted friend Her steady hand, her sparkling eyes were there to help me see Right from the start, we traded hearts So it shall be till the end Mother, you gave the world to me Daughter, you are a joy to see Woman, you've been my constant wife You are my pa**ion, love of my life. I know just what I am and I'm no shining knight But I believe I'm a better man for the women in my life.
