"The Voice of My Father"

The voice of my father

In song he would sing

The words of endearment

The tears they now bring

He sang to my mother

Such words from his heart

He sang to his children

With love on his part

The dance he would sing of

The Tennessee Waltz

A voice that was tender

With all of its faults

He loved to sing sad songs

Or funny or grand

For You Are My Sunshine

Was sung by this man

Yes he was my father

And I miss him still

And old country music

Will make my heart fill

For he loved the old songs

He gave them his best

And I hear him singing

In my heart it rests

- I watched a Country Music Hall of Fame program and they sang The Tennessee Waltz and You Are My Sunshine and I thought of my Dad and how he sang them to us so I wrote this as a result -
