Things My Father Said

The things my father said
Would teach me who I am
Hard work and the love of friends
A lover that understands

I hope my father knows
The seeds we've sown still grow
At night I go to sleep
And pray he is watching over me

Somewhere there's a star that's shining
So bright that I can see you smile
And all that I need is one last chance
Just to hear you say goodbye

Sometimes I remember when
You taught me to tie my shoes
One thing I will never forget
Is the day that I lost you

I hope you always know
The car that we built
Will always roll

Somewhere there's a star that's shining
So bright that I can see you smile (See you smile)
And all that I need is one last chance
Just to hear you say goodbye

And if you ever dream
You better hang on for dear life
And when that cold wind blows
Just let it pass you by

Oh
The things my father said
Yeah

Somewhere there's a star that's shining
So bright that I can see you smile (See you smile)
And all that I need is one last chance
Just to hear you say goodbye

Somewhere there's a star that's shining (Goodbye)
So bright that I can see you smile (See you smile)
And all that I need is one last chance
Just to hear you, you say goodbye
