I last saw my father back long ago
Just a week before he died~
He asked me to sing him one more song
I did and half way through I cried~
He and mother were miles apart
It was no fault then of his own~
He was soon to be released of his pain
I did'nt know God was calling him back home~
His last request it was a song
And I sang to him as never before~
I've never sang that song again
Won't , can't sing it any more~
Please release me was his choice
He was then telling me something I did not know~
That was the last time that I saw my dad
I did'nt know it what my mum had done its so~
She had been to see him the day before
My sister she was there with her too~
They convinced him to end his life
What in life are you good for true~
She did'nt care about him
And less after he died~
But he was a dad like no other to me
If he could not perform miricles he tried~
I've never sang that song again
Can't hear it played right through~
And now and then just like back when
I hear that song played I don't know what to do~
But I know from past experiences
Things over time that have occured~
Every time they play that same song
I've a feeling he hears every word~
