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
