Daddy

If I open the door Will you let me in I've been here before Maybe this time we both can win Long there was silence Now let words bring piece No need to argue anymore Do feel at ease Daddy, seventy has come Never thought you'd reach this age, but you won Tears of joy (Say) Is all there is left today But traces of loss, sadness and grief Are with me, there's no relief Father how you live Believes, ideas, you have so much to give Strong to the end Body's broken, mind untouched Daddy, seventy has come Never thought you'd reach this age, but you won You found a way to count the life in your years Sometimes that life brings me to tears Oh Daddy, seventy A little child Special, alone and very proud Don't change a mind so strong Leave it wild It took a lifetime to find out Daddy, seventy at last Never thought you'd reach this in the past You found a way to count the life in your years Sometimes that life brings me to tears
