Softly something comes The train into the station She has often waited And wondered if he'll come Why has he kept her waiting Hell from coming home now Was it trouble (something) Or a brand new family Will he step down Onto the platform Will he stay now Or go again Softly something comes A feeling that she loves him Remembering his birthday And sentimental times Was she really that bad To force him to silence Were her tears forgotten Or was it just like? Daddy will you Stay this time Daddy will you Walk away Shower her With your own tears Give to her That love (not lost?) Open now Those cold blue eyes Promise her There'll be no more goodbyes No goodbyes Softly something feeling As if she is just dreaming Daddy she has been good You must be here to stay Slowly steam is rising She's shouting as she sees you She's running up to hold you Will your arms be there? Daddy will you Stay this time? Daddy will you Go again? Shower her With your own tears Give to her ? Open now Those cold blue eyes Promise her There'll be no more goodbyes No surprise No more surprise Shower her With your own tears Give to her ? Open now Those cold blue eyes Promise her There'll be no more goodbyes No surprise No more surprise No surprise
