Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was born on the day my father died
He loved me so
Heaven's bells on the day he closed his eyes
Down in a hole

But I can hear him singing
"Oh, oh, oh, oh"

I want to show you that life comes in circles
I want to show you life
Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money
And let no one steal your shine
The day my father died

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I was scared on the day my mother cried
She held me close
She lost a man who could ease her troublеd mind
She lost it all

And I remembеr singing

I want to show you that life comes in circles
I want to show you life
Your heart is heavy, your load I will carry
So put your sweet hand in mine
The day my father died

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

"Put 'em down, put 'em down, " my lover sighed
She loves me so
Letting go doesn't mean he'll ever leave your side

I want to show you that life comes in circles
I want to show you life
Care for your sister, your son and your daughter
Your mother will heal in time
No self-destruction will fill up your heart
And the void that he left behind
The day my father died

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The day my father died
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
