Austin Roberts - Keep On Singing lyrics

rate me

I don't remember mama

She died when I was born

We lived in a one room shanty

But daddy tried to make it a home

When I was only six years old

Started singing in the streets

And people would throw me pennies

So I could help daddy make ends meet

He'd say

[CHORUS]

Keep on singing

Don't stop singing

You're gonna be a star someday

You're gonna make

A lot of people happy

When they come to hear you play

He'd say keep on singing

Keep the bells a ringing

Spread your music from town to town

There's not enough love

In this old world

So spread your songs around

By the time I was ten years old

I had a little rock and roll band

And Daddy's eyes were growing dim

But I didn't understand

He would be so proud of me

Each time he'd hear us play

At night, he'd call me to his side

And daddy'd always say, he'd say

[Repeat CHORUS]

He didn't have much money

But things never seemed so bad

And I felt like

The king of the world

When I was with my dad

Then one rainy April night

Daddy called me to his side

He held me there with trembling hands

Just before he died, he said

[Repeat CHORUS]

I thought my heart was breaking

Daddy was my dearest friend

Now every time I sing a song

I can hear him say again, he'd say

[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
