Daddy's Song

Vs1:
It's too late to finish school
I don't want to anymore
Life has made me much wiser
Than I'd ever hoped for

The walls are getting wider
Empty of the things
I never did become
Full of those I thought I dreamed

Chorus:
And the children are waiting for my wish this year
Feeling safe to have me with them still
And I know nothing else matters as I blow out the light
Cause my babies are dancing with me tonight
My babies are dancing with me

Vs2:
I rushed through the moments
Never wasted a dime
Lived right by the Bible
As if nothing was mine

They've all but one left me
To learn how to swim
In this ocean of stillness
In this life I am in

CHORUS

Bridge:
It's a gamble
We all know
Try our best
And just go

Vs3:
And if he were here with me now
I'd say, "Daddy you work too hard. Come and play with me a while."
But songbooks just aren't written that way
We fall with the avalanche with nothing to say

Chorus
And the children are waiting for my wish this year
Feeling safe to have me with them still
And I know nothing else matters as I blow out the light
Cause my angels are dancing with me tonight
My angels are dancing with me tonight
The angels are dancing with me

(Reginella Campagnola -italian traditional)
