Austin Roberts - Keep On Singing Lyrics
I don't remember mamaShe died when I was bornWe lived in a one room shantyBut daddy tried to make it a homeWhen I was only six years oldStarted singing in the streetsAnd people would throw me penniesSo I could help daddy make ends meetHe'd say[CHORUS]Keep on singingDon't stop singingYou're gonna be a star somedayYou're gonna makeA lot of people happyWhen they come to hear you playHe'd say keep on singingKeep the bells a ringingSpread your music from town to townThere's not enough loveIn this old worldSo spread your songs aroundBy the time I was ten years oldI had a little rock and roll bandAnd Daddy's eyes were growing dimBut I didn't understandHe would be so proud of meEach time he'd hear us playAt night, he'd call me to his sideAnd daddy'd always say, he'd say[Repeat CHORUS]He didn't have much moneyBut things never seemed so badAnd I felt likeThe king of the worldWhen I was with my dadThen one rainy April nightDaddy called me to his sideHe held me there with trembling handsJust before he died, he said[Repeat CHORUS]I thought my heart was breakingDaddy was my dearest friendNow every time I sing a songI can hear him say again, he'd say[Repeat CHORUS]
