I love my father and I love him well   I hope to see him someday soon   I love my father and I love him well   I hope to see him someday soon      'Cause where I live it gets dark at night   The kind of dark heats up the night   Where I live it gets dark at night   The kind of dark heats up the night      And you know that, mother, I'd be lying   If I didn't tell you I'm afraid of dying      And as I dream I'm falling down   The world moves without a sound   Lost as sure as I was found   Sun comes up without a sound      So I up and face another day   And I hope that kindness comes your way   Well I up and face another day   And I hope that kindness comes your way      This for you I pray   Pray for you today      And in the morning I'll be gone   Where for to cannot be told   'Cause in the morning I'll be gone   Where for to cannot be told      A mind filled with memories   Weigh me down, my god      I love my father and I love him well   I hope to see him someday soon   I love my father and I love him well   I hope to see him someday soon   I hope to meet him someday soon
