A Careful Man
A father who is almost painfully aware of his
responsibilities as a role model for his child.
A careful man I've got to be,
A little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self same way.
I must not madly turn aside
Where pleasure's paths are smooth and wide.
And join in wine's revelry,
A little fellow follows me.
I cannot once escape his eyes;
Whatever he sees me do he tries,
Like me he says he's going to be,
That little chap that follows me.
He thinks that I am good and fine,
Believes in every word of mine;
The base in me he must not see,
That little chap that follows me.
I must remember as I go
Through summer sun and winter snow,
I'm building for the years to be,
A little fellow follows me.
