Father, thanks for playin' with my friends and me   I'm glad they got to meet the man I know   You always knew the words and taught me honesty   Picked me up when I was feeling low   If I could talk to you one more time   I know you'd work things out just like before   Where did I go wrong, can you hear me sing this song?    Father, I won't see you anymore      Mother, dry your eyes why do you cry those tears?    You knew someday your baby'd be a man   Letting go is hard when it's for ever dear   I know it's late, but now I understand   If I could hold your hand one more time   And hear your lullabies just like before   I know that I did wrong, so I'm singing you this song   Mother, I won't see you anymore      Son, I wish you knew how much we're missin' you   I saw them cry their tears from up above   I try to tell them, but the words aren't getting through   I didn't mean to hurt the ones I love   Mother, father, I hope to see you soon   And things will be just like they were before   I'm sending all my love, I'm watching from above   And I'll be in their hearts forever more
