The Day My Father Died

I was born on the day my father died, he loved me so Heaven's bells on the day he closed his eyes, down in a hole But I can hear him singing, oh-oh-oh-oh I want to show you that life comes in circles I want to show you life Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money And let no one steal your shine The day my father died I was scared on the day my mother cried She held me close She lost a man who could ease her troubled mind She lost it all And I remember singing I want to show you that life comes in circles I want to show you life Your heart is heavy, your load I will carry So put your sweet hand in mine The day my father died The day my father died "Put 'em down, put 'em down" my lover sighed She loves me so Letting go doesn't mean he'll ever leave your side I want to show you that life comes in circles I wanna show you life Care for your sister, your son and your daughter Your mother will heal in time No self-destruction will fill up your heart And the void that he left behind The day my father died The day my father died The day my father died I was born on the day my father died The day my father died I was born
