SYML - The Day My Father Died Lyrics

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

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 (oh)
I was born
