A sweet country style ballad about a woman that is lost without her husban and best friend. She sits in the chair that was his chair, their chair and having a hard time moving on.
Lyrics
Papa’s Chair words & music by Jim Gilmore Papa was the kind of man who never really meant to settle down But his life had never gone the way That he had it planned. She loved him and he sure loved her But he never ever said it loud She could tell how he felt Just by the way that he held her hand. And they used to sing all night long And they used to go on and on I remember that I couldn’t sleep But it felt so neat because the love was there. Sitting in Papa’s Chair. Mama now sleeps alone at night But there’s a smile upon her face Because she dreams of the nights When they were singing in Papa’s chair I remember hearing Mama Talking in her sleep so late at night She would sing him a song And then she’d tell him that she still cares And they used to sing Oh, there’s no place like home And now Mama sings all alone I remember when we used to be a big family Now it’s just not there. Sitting in Papa’s Chair. Papa’s Chair, sitting in Papa’s Chair Papa’s Chair, sitting in Papa’s Chair Since Papa’s been gone, Mama won’t push on Because she just don’t care. Sitting in Papa’s chair. Me and Papa working in the hot day sun Then Mom would ring the bell and say Your working day is done Since Papa’s been now Mama just stares And spends another night Just sitting in Papa’s chair. Chorus
