Lyrics
LAST NIGHT MY FATHER DIED
HE WASN'T VERY OLD
I WATCHED HIM TAKE HIS FINAL BREATH
AND FELT HIS HAND TURN COLD
I REMEMBER WHAT MY FATHER SAID
AS HE LAY STILL IN HIS BED
"BE GOOD SON TO YOUR FELLOW MAN
AND THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE"
ALONE I FACE UNCERTAIN TIMES
WILL I FIND STRENGTH TO GO ON
CAN I GRASP THE REINS WITH CONFIDENCE
AND FACE LIFE LIKE A MAN
I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM MY HEART
FOR THE PERSON THAT I AM
(HE SAID) "WORK HARD BE FAIR, TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT
AND ALWAYS BE YOURSELF"
YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE
FOREVER YOU WILL LIVE
IN MY THOUGHTS AND COUNTLESS OTHERS
YOU HAVE TOUCHED WITH YOUR WARM HEART
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO ENJOY LIFE
TO THE FULLEST SHARED WITH FRIENDS
HOW PROUD I WAS YOU WERE MY DAD
AND I'M PROUD OF YOU TODAY
ALONE I FACE UNCERTAIN TIMES
WILL I FIND STRENGTH TO GO ON
CAN I GRASP THE REINS WITH CONFIDENCE
AND FACE LIFE LIKE A MAN
LAST NIGHT MY FATHER DIED
HE WASN'T VERY OLD
I WATCHED HIM TAKE HIS FINAL BREATH
AND FELT HIS HAND TURN COLD.
