My Father's Eyes

(This song is dedicated to my father Eduard Weiss
Who died in November 2008)

Into my father's eyes
A little spark of life
Almost gone forever
Father, don't go away
So much I wanna say
How could I turn back the time now?
How could I live without
Your jokes, you laughing loud
How could I keep all my faith?

The day you die
You can hear me cry
My pain inside
Crying out at night
On the day you die
Tears running dry
I hold your hand, oh father why
Has time passed by?
The day you die

On the day you're gone
There's so much left undone
I will miss you forever
Even if I know that's life
I want you to survive
But I know I'm just dreaming
Give me just one look into your eyes
And open up the skies

The day you die
You can hear me cry
My pain inside
Crying out at night
On the day you die
Tears running dry
I hold your hand, oh father why
Life goes on and on
So many words - unspoken - not said
I'll keep you in my heart
'til I'm dead

The day you die - you can hear me cry
My pain inside - crying out at night
On the day you die - tears running dry
I hold your hand - oh, father why
The day you die
Now you are released
And now you are released oh
Rest in peace
