Mother, how dad made me cry when he left us high and dry
Now, you are the only one, we do the best we can
Through the years we held on tight, even in the darkest nights
But today we're walking in the light, we do the best we can
Girl, did I ever treat you bad, did I hurt you and make you sad?
Don't you know that I'm a loving man, I do the best I can
You got your faults and I got mine but I know things will work out fine
And as we move on down the line, we'll do the best we can
Child of mine, with your smile so sweet, you have made my life complete
If I'm not the best of dads, I do the best I can
We will always be together, for the worse and for the better
Rest assured that come whatever, we'll do the best we can
Ain't got no money to buy you cashmere gloves
Darling, I can't give you anything but love
No, I will never, ever let you down
You don't have to worry, I'll always be around
