He was (Version anglaise)
作词 : Serge Vincent Raymond
作曲 : Serge Vincent Raymond
He was sixteen when he started to sing
He had a white shirt with a pair of blue jeans
Black boots, please ____don't forget the hat!
He had, in his eyes, what you’d need to believe
In his heart, the courage that you need to succeed
A huge smile for the crowd every night

He used to sing his own cowboy songs, a little Johnny Cash
Sold out every night, so what’d you think of that

He was eighteen when he bought her a ring
And twenty-one when his first baby came in
It’s a girl, brown hair, brown eyes
You could see tears streaming from his eyes
Each time the phone rang for a music ride
He was torn between his family and his guys

It was easy for him to set the crowd on fire every night
For him, nothing mattered more than doing things right

Daddy, you're the best of the best
The kind of man I wish to be
You had in your blood, enough love
To give the world all the love it needed
Daddy you're the kind of man I wish to be

He was thirty-one and still believed
In finding a way to make a living
As a country singer with four children to raise

And now, a fifth child was born with a smile
Another girl, brown hair, brown eyes
He said to himself, it's over now

I need to find another dream to dream at night
I have too much love for my kids and wife

Daddy, you're the best of the best
The kind of man I wish to be
You had in your blood, enough love
To give the world all the love it needed
Daddy you're the kind of man I want to be

He was fifty-one when he proudly said
That his first son had music in his veins
Singing his own cowboy songs, a little Johnny Cash
March fifteenth, cold morning
I swear I heard my old man singing
With the angels in the sky. He sang me goodbye

Daddy, you're the best of the best
The kind of man I still want to be
And you gave me enough love
To share with every soul in need

Daddy you're the kind of man
Who proves a cowboy can
Have the heart he needs to be a good man

Daddy you're the best. You’re the best
