Dad (losing you)

Hi Dad, it's me again, it's not time to be awake.

The night's still dark, the moon still shines,

The stars are sprinkled in the sky.

The clock strikes two but all is calm,

The house is quite, there's no alarm.

Hi dad, it's me again, it's not time to be awake.

Hi Dad, take my hand, I'll take you back to sleep,

Where you can dream of days gone by,

Where youth was yours and joy was life.

When memory never failed your mind

And lines no longer graced your face

And boyish canter was your grace.

Hi Dad, take my hand, I'll take you back to sleep.

Hi Dad, follow me, take one step at a time,

I'll lead you as you once led me,

I'll comfort you and give you peace.

When times get hard and you're afraid,

I'll be right there to brush away,

The mist that clouds your memories ,

I'll remind you of your history.

Hi Dad, follow me, take one step at a time.

Hi Dad, lay down to sleep, I'll sing a lullaby,

I'll stroke your head and kiss your cheek,

I'll keep away the tears I weep.

I'll hold your hand and watch you breath,

until you sleep contentedly.

I'll creep away and close your door, and listen for your steps once more,

I'll find you standing in the dark,

I'll hold you in my arms and say.

Hi dad, it's me again, it's not time to be awake.
