How many times I thought of you, my father And even saw you walking through the door How many times I lied to myself, saying It'll be six o'clock soon, he'll be back soon How many times I lay down beside you on the bed Just to smell your scent on the pillow How many times I hugged your Collie dog I said: Calm down, don't cry, he'll be back, partner Life comes, brutal, and steals us away It's strange, there's nothing you can do In the blink of an eye I saw everything crumbling The kayak, the boat, the dreams, yours and mine Back then even the Gold White lagoon dried up I think it was made just for you Years have passed I have vivid memories And you know, my love I still cry every day My tears keep The lagoon alive You How many times have I thought of you, my father And even seen you walking through the door How many times have I lied to myself, saying And It'll be six o'clock, he'll be back soon Uh, he's coming back Uh, he's coming back
