A Wise Father
A Father's advice to his son on his wedding day
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
A Wise Father
My wise old father said to me
Be kind and gentle to your wife
And happy you will always be
Throughout the years of married life
Be kind and gentle to your wife
For she is loving, soft and sweet
Throughout the years of married life
Her trust in you must be complete
For she is loving soft and sweet
So you must never do her wrong
Her trust in you must be complete
An honest heart will keep love strong
So you must never do her wrong
And happy you will always be
An honest heart will keep love strong
My wise old father said to me.
