Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you
About everything I saw in your eyes
About the calm without words
The scents and the sounds
All of it was so beautiful in your eyes.
Dad, remember the roads to school
All the melodies out of the room
When you listened to how I sing
With a happy look
And the smile hiding between your lips.
Dad, the paths you loved to care for
I tried to win over you
I didn’t always understand how
Things will not always work out
I am different from you, but so much like you.
Dad, the old house is no longer there
We have moved, have advanced, have changed
We fill the missing gaps
With more familiar faces
Whatever each one of us thought missing.
Dad, the paths you loved to care for
I tried to win over you
I didn’t always understand how
Things will not always work out
I am different from you, but so much like you.
Dad, time has passed and we didn’t talk
Dad, forgive me
It took me time to understand – you belong to me
Like I belong to you
Like I love you
Let’s not keep it inside, lets talk.
Dad, a friend told me to write a song about you.
