Lyrics

When I was young the best times I had
Was hanging out with my best friend dad
There's no other place that I'd rather be
He was putting me to bed one night
I said wait a minute dad before you turn out that light
There's a few things I don't know can you take a seat
He sat down on the edge of the bed and listened to me

Tell me dad why is the water blue
How many stars are up in the sky
Tell me about that time when you are a boy
Now where do dogs go when they die
Tell me why that Lady cried, why her kids live in the street
Tell me how'd that cow jump over the moon
Can they do that dad please tell me
Tell me daddy one more time tonight

I grew up and I left home when,
When I get a chance I call my dad on the phone
He said it's good to hear your voice thanks for calling me
A few years later dad passed away,
When I'm in town I go and visit his grave
Hello there dad can I take a seat,
Even though he didn't answer back I know he listened to me

Tell me dad why is the water blue
How many stars are up in the sky
I'll tell you about that time when I was a boy
Now what should I do with my life
Now I know why that Lady cried, and why her kids live in the street
Thank you Dad for being my best friend
You were always there for me
Tell me daddy one more time tonight

I fell in love and I settled down
I'm gonna raise my son in that same small town
There's no other place that I'd rather be
I was putting him to bed one night,
He said wait a minute dad before you turn out that light
There's a few things I don't know, can you take a seat
I knew he was going to say before he started to speak

Tell me dad why is the water blue
How many stars are up in the sky
Tell me about that time when you are a boy
Now where do dogs go when they die
Tell me why that Lady cried, why her kids live in the street
Tell me how'd that cow jump over the moon
Can they do that dad please tell me
Tell me daddy one more time tonight
