That's My Job

This was my Daddy's and my song:  

That's My Job Conway Twitty  

I woke up crying late at night When I was very young.  I had dreamed my father Had passed away and gone.   My world revolved around him I couldn't lay there anymore. So I made my way down the mirrored hall And tapped upon his door.   And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid How will I go on with you gone that way?Don't want to cry anymore So may I stay with you?"   And he said "That's my job, That's what I do. Everything I do is because of you,To keep you safe with me.That's my job you see."   Later we barely got along This teenage boy and he. Most of the fights it seems Were over different dreams, We each held for me.   He wanted knowledge and learning. I wanted to fly out west. Said, "I could make it out there If I just had the fare. I got half, will you loan me the rest?"   And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid, There's no guarantee in the plans I've made and if I should fail, Who will pay my way back home?"   And he said "That's my job That's what I do. Everything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me. That's my job you see."   Every person carves his spot And fills the hole with light. And I pray someday I might Light as bright as he.   Woke up early one bright fall day To spread the tragic news. After all my travel, I settled down Within a mile or two.   I make my living with words and rhyme And all this tragedy Should go into my head and out instead As bits of poetry.   But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid, How will I go on with you gone this way? How can I come up with a song to say I love you?"   That's my job, That's what I do Everything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me. That's my job you see. Everything I do is because of you To keep you safe with me.
