Please don't wait...

As I hold your grey, paper thin hand, I see the purple in your veins
This shows me there is still life in you, but you're lying down in such pain
You've lived a full life, your daughter sitting here with you is proof
It'll not be long now, you'll see my mam and the rest of our family soon

Please dad, there's no need to wait
Please dad, just give into your pain
I know not yet, maybe someday
We'll see each other once again

I always remember, you lifting me up on your shoulder
A loving dad, holding my hands so they wouldn't get colder
I could see for miles, or so my imagination thought
All the while not taking in the life lessons that you taught

Don't wait...
Please don't wait...

When you walked me down the aisle with such a big smile, I saw your tears that fell
The tears joined into mine as you gave me away, then I knew this wasn't pretend
I wonder when you see my mam up there, she'll be wearing that same beautiful dress
You've been happy, you've been sad, you've laughed and loved with no regrets

Don't wait...
Please don't wait...

When my mother passed away, you begged to see her one more time
You never know, she might be standing there, when that bright light shines
She was your wife, your best friend, your true soulmate
Tell her about the grand kids, when you meet at the gates

Please dad, there's no need to wait
Please dad, just give into your pain
I know not yet, maybe someday
We'll see each other once again
I love you dad
Don't wait
Please don't wait
Let go
There's no need to wait
I love you dad
I love you.....
