WHEN MY FATHER CLOSED HIS EYES

WHEN MY FATHER CLOSED HIS EYES

WHEN MY FATHER CLOSED HIS EYES,
I WAS NOT AT HIS SIDE.
I NEVER DID ANYTHING RIGHT,
WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.

EVERYTHING WAS IN WHITE,
WHEN I CAME TO HIS SIDE.
BUT I DID NOT CRY,
BECAUSE HE ALWAYS ASKED ME TO SMILE.

HIS WORDS ARE STILL ON MY MIND:
DON'T GIVE UP, AND GIVE ANOTHER TRY,
UNTIL EVERYTHING IS RIGHT,
THEN YOUR FUTURE WILL BE BRIGHT!'

WHEN MY FATHER CLOSED HIS EYES,
I WAS NOT AT HIS SIDE.
NOW I CAN DO SOMETHING RIGHT,
BUT HE WILL NEVER OPEN HIS EYES.
