Lyrics
Oh! My Pa-pa
To me he was so wonderful
Oh! My Pa-pa
To me he was so good
No one could be
So gentle and so lovable
Oh! My Pa-pa
He always understood
Gone are the days
When he would take me on his knee
And with a smile
He’d change my tears to laughter
Oh! My Pa-pa
So funny, so adorable
Always the clown
So funny in his way
Oh! My Pa-pa
To me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart
I miss him so today
Oh! My Pa-pa
Oh! My Pa-pa
Oh! My Pa-pa
