The Letter

Coolparadiso

He wrote me a letter one day it said
Im sorry i have to go
I didn’t understand the significance
But i was only 6 you know

V He said son be a brave boy
Look after your mum for me
This sickness has a hold now
So what will be will be

Pc They buried my hope the next Tuesday
Along with his broken life
All thats left now is a boy in tears
And a broken hearted wife

C We said things slowly got better
Everything we had tried
But people that knew us best
Could see that we both lied

V We both missed those simple things
Sometimes just a wink and a smile
And now that I’m am older
It seems better for a while

V they say you don’t miss things
That you have never had
But i miss them because i had a glimpse
Of having a caring dad

Pc I’m not sure if I’ve got things right
But when i was young i vowed
That i would try all my life
To make sure he would have been proud

C things did get better
after everything we had tried
But even after all this time
we wish he was still by our side
