Father, father please don’t leave me. br I need you to stay with me. br Trough the good times and the bad, br Help me stand tall. br Your footprints in the sand! br Walk with me, talk a while. br Rain or sun keep me safe, br Happy or sad help rest me mind. br br Mother, mother don’t you leave me, br I need you to stay with me. br Wrap your arms around me, br don’t you let bad things happen to me. br Help me close my eyes and rest for a while. br Help me wake in the morning, br don’t you go letting me down.
