On a silent night when I was young
I never knew what was about to come
I awoke with lots of cheer
But didn't know what was near
It was a day of getting older for me
But couldn't believe what I was about to see

Went out to eat with my ma
And couldn't wait to see my pa
On our way home
It was like I was about to break a bone
And with all the pain
No strength I could gain

As the news was told
My emotions I could not hold
My sister was the one to tell
It felt like I'd just gone to hell
My fater had died
And I felt like I wanted to hide

As the years go by
I try not to cry
With all the memories I hide inside
He will always be kept alive
I love my father with all my heart
And wish we never had to part
