I'll Never Forget

When I was just a boy My father always told me He said believe in yourself Believe in God and never do wrong But then i always wondered I never understood...oh no But now I realize How much it really pays to be good I'll never forget I'll always remember The things that you said Lessons you rendered The words that you gave Will be guiding my way He took me by the hand and then he said Listen my child You see some are born poor Some are born rich So help when you can And never look down on anybody Cos no one knows tomorrow Whether white or black, tall or short, skinny or fat We're all the same I'll never forget I'll always remember The things that you said Lessons you rendered The words that you gave Will be guiding my way He said "beware of shoes, clothes, cars and money And all the little things that could break you Charlie Diamonds and gold, riches and fame These will come and pass away Do never give your soul away" He said beware of shoes, clothes, drugs, cars and money And all the things that could break you Charlie Diamonds and gold, riches and fame These will come and pass away Come and pass away So never give your soul away I'll never forget I'll always remember The things that you said Lessons you rendered The words that you gave Will be guiding my way I'll never forget I'll always remember The things that you said Lessons you rendered The words that you gave Will be guiding my way Will be guiding my way
