You look smaller now in that chair As I used to leave the world, just resting there You taught me how to fight, how to take the pain But you never taught me how to Watch you fade And I've said goodbye a thousand times But this one don't feel right So close your eyes, I'll hold your hand You don't have to be the strong one, old man You've carried me far, I'll take it from here And I'll see you again Somewhere past the tears Yeah, I'll see you again You said: Son, don't let the hard days win But God, I'd trade it all to start again Every scar, every fire we had Means more now than the years we planned I can hear your voice inside my chest Saying: Boy, I gave you my best So close your eyes, I'll hold your hand You don't have to be the strong one, old man You've carried me far, I'll take it from here And I'll see you again Somewhere past the tears Yeah, I'll see you again And when the light stars breaking through I whisper all I learned from you Love don't die, it just changes view And I'll see you again So close your eyes, I'll hold your hand You don't have to be the strong one, old man You've carried me far, I'll take it from here And I'll see you again Somewhere past the tears Yeah, I'll see you again
