I took my time to reflect upon life Realizing how much you mean to me. Look through these sparkling eyes. Can't you see your sacrifice? What would I do... If it wasn't for you? Every moment lasts like years In the shades of yesterday. Wipe your tears away Oh father, father... Always gave the best of you And taught me all I know. Just stay here, stay with me. Father, oh father And I'd be so lost without you. One day I swear I'll pay you back. I was never able to show you my love. Take my hand and walk with me through my darkest nights. I'm just so scared of what life holds But you're always by my side. What would I do... If it wasn't for you? Every moment lasts like years In the shades of yesterday. Wipe your tears away Oh father, father... Always gave the best of you And taught me all I know. Just stay here, stay with me. Father, oh father
