The things my father said   Would make me a better man   Hard work and the love of friends   A woman 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 that I'll 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   And all that I need is one last chance   Just to hear you say goodbye      And if you have a dream,   You'd better hang on for dear life   And when the cold wind blows,   Just let it pass you by      Yeah   Things my father said   Yeah yeah   Yeah yeah yeah      Somewhere there's a star thats shining   So bright that I can see you smile   And all that I need is one last chance   Just to hear you say goodbye   Goodbye   Just to hear you say   Goodbye
