Color Him Father
The Winstons Lyrics

There's a man at my house, he's so big and strong
There is a masculine figure at my home who is physically imposing and possesses great strength.

He goes to work each day and stays all day long
He leaves home every day to spend several hours at work before returning in the evening.

He comes home each night looking tired and beat
After a long day, he returns home appearing exhausted and worn out.

He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
He takes a seat at the dining table to consume a small amount of food.

Never a frown, always a smile
Despite daily hardships, he remains positive and happy, never exhibiting sadness or negativity.

When he says to me, "how's my child?"
He inquires about my well-being, affectionately calling me his child.

I said, that I've been studying hard all day in school
I respond by indicating that I have been dedicating my time and effort to learning in a classroom setting.

Tryin' very hard to understand the golden rule
I strive to comprehend and follow the moral guidelines of treating others with kindness and respect.

I think I'll color this man father (color him father)
I have decided to assign the title of father to this man, marking his significant role in my life.

I think I'll color him love (color him love)
In addition to being my father figure, I will further recognize him as a source of love and affection.

He says education is the thing if you want to compete
He emphasizes the importance of gaining knowledge and skills in order to succeed in life.

Because without it, son, life ain't very sweet
He believes that a lack of education can make life more difficult and unenjoyable.

I love this man, and I don't know why
I hold a deep affection for this man, without being entirely certain of the reasons behind my feelings.

Except I'll need his strength until the day that I die
I recognize his ongoing supportive presence and foresee requiring his assistance for the rest of my life.

My mother loves him and I can tell
I am able to see how strongly my mother cares for this man.

By the way she looks at him when he holds my little sister Nell
Her body language and expressions indicate a deep affection when he interacts with my younger sibling.

I heard her say just the other day
Recently, I overheard her voice her admiration for him.

That if it hadn't have been for him she couldn't have found her way
She believes that without his help, she would have struggled to navigate her life's path.

Our real old man, he got killed in the war
Our biological father passed away while fighting for his country.

And she knows she and seven kids couldn't have got very far
My mother recognizes that she would have encountered significant difficulties raising a large family on her own.

She said she thought that she could never love again
After my biological father's death, my mother believed that she would be incapable of falling in love once more.

And then there he stood with that big wide grin
However, when this man appeared with a large smile, her perspective shifted.

He married my mother and he took us in
He chose to wed my mother and became a loving parental figure to all of us.

And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin
We consider him a member of our family and hold him in high regard.

I've got to color this man father (color him father)
I must assign him the title of father, as he has assumed a fundamental role in my life.

I know I've got to color him love (color him love)
Additionally, I appreciate the love and compassion he has consistently shown and will also assign him this title.
