My daddy told me, just before he slipped away
Stay true to what you know, and don't be nobody's slave
Find you someone to love, and then behave
And remember, every dog has his day
I've always said you're a good boy, so don't make me no liar
Your fingers will surely burn if you reach into the fire
Never confuse your love with your desire
And remember, keep reachin' higher and higher
Heaven is always
Now and forever
Find a way to keep it in your life
Heaven is always
But it's now or never
Find a way to keep your love alive
Heaven is always
Now and forever
Find a way to keep it in your life
Heaven is always
But it's now or never
Find a way to keep your love alive
My daddy taught me how to keep my head on straight
He said "son, when you hear the bell toll, you better not be late.
So take your time in love, don't be afraid to wait
And remember, every dog has its day"
