Please daddy...

Please daddy, I asked him, sing me a song
Even if it won't last that long.
I've shown you that I've grown strong
So please daddy, sing me a song.

Pick up your old guitar
And sing me that song
That you always sang
Next to my bed, all night long

Come and sit here beside me
Touch those vulnerable strings
Sing the song, only for me
About all the wonderful things

Sing about the birds,
The trees and the blue, blue sky
All I want to hear are those words
Please don't ask me why

Please daddy, don't walk away
Don't you understand,
That I need to hear you play
The song of the non-existing land

Please daddy, sing the song
Don't turn your back on me
It is so wrong
Why don't you see

I need your song
It keeps me alive
If it's not in my heart
Where it belongs
The feeling cuts me
Like a knife.

Please, my sweet daddy
Sing me your song
Sing it for me
It won't last that long
