Lyrics

Oh, My Father
(by Lilly)

Oh, my father
I wish I could give you the words
so you could tell mother
how much you love her
´cause I know you´d like to
tell her once more
even though she may not believe you
like so many times before

Oh, my father
I wish I could give you the hand
and that when you need it most
I can be around to help you stand
and I´d like to bring you
the quiet and peace of mind
that you´ve always asked for
but not too often seemed to find

Because
too many worries
too many worries
´bout your children, work and wife
made you stand on guard for all
the nightmares and crimes


Oh, my father
How I wish I could give you the song
that would make us sing together
and dance the whole night long
it should take away all the sorrow
that makes us want to cry
and let us face all tomorrows
with the strength of years gone by

Beause too many worries
too many worries
´bout your children, work and wife
made you stand on guard for all
the night…
all the nightmares and crimes

too many worries
too many worries
´bout your children, work and wife
made you stand on guard for
all the nightmares and crimes
of life
