Saturday's Father

She wakes them in the early light,
they're going to go away. She dresses them in party clothes, she ties their hair in colored bows. Today is father's day.

He said he'll be there right on time, he'll be there come what may. He'll take them to a puppet show, the little one can't wait to go. Today is father's day.

See him always smiling full of games to play, fun to have a daddy every Saturday.

He brings them home by suppertime, to where he used to stay. As so they kiss him on the cheek, she sees him off, but they don't speak. Today was father's day.
