Lyrics
Dad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She left, you stayed
It really wasn’t simple at all
You cried, I smiled
I really wasn’t lonely at all
And no one really knows
What you gave me
What you made
What you gave
What you braved
What you saved
Years of devotion
Years of devotion
I got tears in my eyes
You’re good
You’re strong
You really, really helped me along
She left, she’s gone
And you, you stuck it out on your own
And when I think of you
I wish I could phone you
I get sad
I can’t call
I can’t call
I can’t call
Years of devotion
Years of devotion
I got tears in my eyes
Years of devotion
Years of devotion
Years of devotion
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tears in my eyes
Tears in my eyes
Tears in my eyes
Dad, dad, dad
Dad, dad, dad
Dad, dad, dad
