G                     Am              C
Father, thanks for playing with my friends and me.
Am                    C               D   Dsus2...
I'm glad they got to meet the man I know.
G                     Am                   C
You always knew the words and taught me honesty.
Am                C               D   Dsus2
Picked me up when I was feeling low.
G            D               Am        C
If I could talk to you just one more time,
Am                   C                    D   Dsus2
I know you'ld work things out just like before.
G                Am            G                  C
Where did I go wrong? Can you hear me sing this song?
Am              C         G
Father I won't see you anymore.

G                 Am              C
Mother, dry your eyes why do you cry those tears.
Am                      C          D   Dsus2
You knew someday your baby'd be a man.
G              Am               C
Letting go is hard when it's forever dear.
Am                    C          D   Dsus2
I know it's late but now I understand.
G            D                 Am        C
If I could hold you hand just one more time,
Am                C                  D   Dsus2
and hear your lullabies just like before.
G                   Am             G               Am
I know that I did wrong, so I'm singing you this song.
Am               C         G
Mother, I won't see you anymore.

G                Am                     C
Son, I wish you knew how much we're missing you.
Am                     C             D   Dsus2
I saw them cry their tears from up above.
G                    Am                     C
I try to tell them, but the words aren't getting through,
Am                C               D  Dsus2
I didn't mean to hurt the ones I love.
G          D       Am              C
Mother, Father I hope to see you soon,
     Am                   C               D
and things will be just like they were before.
      G              Am        G             Am
I'm sending all my love, I'm watching from above...
      Am              C            G
and I'll be in your dreams for evermore.
