Whatever you are you're goin' to be
|
Whatever you are is all right with me
|
You're gonna be what you want anyway
|
These are the words I heard my father say
|
When I was a young girl
|
And shy of men
|
He said when you're ready
|
You'll know just when
|
And when I was taken and thrown away
|
There wasn't a reason to face the day
|
And so he said:
|
|
Whatever you are you're goin' to be
|
Whatever you are is all right with me
|
You're gonna be what you want anyway
|
These are the words I heard my father say
|
|
My father's song is clear and easy
|
And though he's gone he lives in my heart
|
When I go wrong I swear he sees me
|
And he smiles for a star, and he says:
|
|
Wherever you are I'm here by your side
|
My life is a rope that won't come untied
|
Oh, I'm gonna stand by you right or wrong
|
These are the words within my father's song
|
Uh..Oh...Ah...Mmm...Uh!
|
These are the words within my father's song
|
