AS I LOOK ON DAYS GONE BY---
I SIT AND THINK AND WONDER WHY---
DAY BY DAY YOU FORGOT EACH NAME---
BUT THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES WAS ALWAYS THE SAME---
THERE WAS ALWAYS A CHANCE---
A FACE YOU WOULD KNOW---
ALWAYS CLINGING TO EACH WORD---
BUT WHERE DID TIME GO---
AFTER TALKING, LISTENING AND RECORDING EACH SONG---
THE QUESTION WAS ASKED---
WHAT DID HE DO WRONG---
THIS DISEASE THAT YOU HAVE---
HAS TAKEN AWAY---
BUT I LONG FOR THE TIME AND WISH YOU COULD SAY---
SOMETHING YOU TOLD ME---
WHEN I WAS SO SAD---
IF YOU'D LIKE , SWEETHEART---
I'LL BE YOUR DAD---
I THANK GOD FOR EACH DAY---
THROUGH THE YEARS THAT WE'VE HAD---
AND I'LL ALWAYS ALWAYS REMEMBER---
WHAT YOU SAID ON THAT DAY---
WITH THE LOVE IN YOUR HEART---
THAT NEVER WENT AWAY---
YOU MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN---
MY NAME, YES THAT'S SAD---
BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET---
IF YOU'D LIKE, SWEETHEART---
I'LL BE YOUR DAD---
NOW THE TIME HAS COME---
TO SAY GOOD-BYE---
GOD IS CALLING YOU HOME---
YES, THAT MAKE'S ME CRY---
WHEN I MARRIED YOUR SON---
I NEVER REALLY KNEW---
THE LOVE I HAVE FOR HIM---
COULD ALSO TURN TO YOU---
NOW MY SWEET DAD---
GOD'S TAKING YOUR HAND---
AND LEADING YOU ON----
TO HIS HEAVENLY LAND---
NOW GO IN PEACE---
YOUR SUFFERING'S GONE---
THE BANDS AH PLAY'IN---
YOU REMEMBERED THE SONG---
THIS WAS WRITTEN FOR MY FATHER-IN-LAW WHO IS DYING FROM ALZHEIMER'S.
THE DAY MY DAD DIED HE WAS THERE FOR ME AND SOME OF THESE WORDS ARE WHAT HE SAID TO ME.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE , I LOVE YOU , DAD
