From walking so much through life
The years are weighing on me
Maybe the moment is drawing near
That I'll have to say goodbye to you
When I'm no longer with you
The one who kissed your cheeks
The one who sometimes hugged you
And sometimes scolded you
Remember that he was your father
The man that loved you most
If one day you remember the old man
If you ever wanted a kiss from him
And you can't find me here anymore
Of the many that I gave her
Young son of mine, if you want a kiss
Or a hug from your dad, ask your mama for it
Your mama has plenty, of the ones I gave her
So your foot doesn't slip
And avoid hitting the stones
When you miss your father
That went to heaven with God
The kisses you give your child
If one day you remember the old man
If you ever wanted a kiss from him
And you can't find me here anymore
Of the many that I gave her
