Father, thanks for playin' with my friends and me
  I'm glad they got to meet the man I know
  You always knew the words and taught me honesty
  Picked me up when I was feeling low
  If I could talk to you one more time
  I know you'd work things out just like before
  Where did I go wrong, can you hear me sing this song?
  Father, I won't see you anymore
  Mother, dry your eyes why do you cry those tears?
  You knew someday your baby'd be a man
  Letting go is hard when it's for ever dear
  I know it's late, but now I understand
  If I could hold your hand one more time
  And hear your lullabies just like before
  I know that I did wrong, so I'm singing you this song
  Mother, I won't see you anymore
  Son, I wish you knew how much we're missin' you
  I saw them cry their tears from up above
  I try to tell them, but the words aren't getting through
  I didn't mean to hurt the ones I love
  Mother, Father, I hope to see you soon
  And things will be just like they were before
  I'm sending all my love, I'm watching from above
  And I'll be in their hearts forever more
