My Father Used to Sing

My Father Used to Sing - Charlie Landsborough

My father was a common man

His fair is such a thing

An ordinary common man

Till he begin to sing

It felt like Angels guided around

To listen to each gentle sound

My father use to sing

My father use to sing

Oh how I love the memories

And if I closed my eyes and dreamed

My father sings to me

He sang of love and everyone

Saw something of his heart

And for awhile the worries past

He sat then empty arms

And silence fell on angry men

And harden eyes turned misty when

My father use to sing

My father use to sing

Oh how I love the memories

And if I closed my eyes and dreamed

My father sings to me

My father had the gift of song

And gave His gift to me

I've had such blessings from that gift

I only wish could hear

Could see the pleasure and the joy

Gods giving to the little boy

Whose father use to sing

My Father use to Sing
