Lyrics
i saw his fingers movin fast as light
hard work and pastence Daddy got it right
no triblulation dimmed my daddys sight
i couldnt wait till we played that porch at night
Daddy wont you play for me
Daddy wont you play for me
it didnt matter whatDaddy'd want to play
strummin and smilin beside him all the way
we filled that screen porch with music that we played
it felt like heaven when me and Daddy played
Daddy wont you play for me
Daddy wont you play for me
we never made it to the opry land
no money could replace his guidin hand
he taught me how to learn to be a man
his gift of music made me who i am
Daddy wont you play for me
Daddy wont you play for me
