Take your darling by the hand, walk down the aisle again.
Relive the joy of your first love and try forget the pain.
Fly that bird of war once more, take off into the sky,
If the clouds clear for a while, remember I said goodbye.

Remember the good times, remember them with pride.
Remember that you loved me and I came to say goodbye.
You’re my father and you know me, excuse me if I cry.
Just came because I love you and want to say goodbye.

Glide across the floor again, show ‘em how it’s done,
Show them the man who’s done it tough and lives on through his sons.
Ride your boat into the waves, drown ghosts that haunt your mind,
Your proud family standing by the shore to wave goodbye.

While you still can hear me, let me say goodbye,
I know you won’t remember, please god help him try.
You’re my father and you know me, excuse me if I cry.
Just came because I love you and want to say goodbye.

“Do I know you young man?” Dad don’t you know it’s me?
“Oh please come visit soon”.
I was there just yesterday, it was you I’d come to see

Many would have folded with the cards that you’ve been dealt,
Wouldn’t have the courage to bear the pain that you’ve felt.
Soon you can lay down to rest, your sweetheart by your side,
Was too young when she left us, please tell Mum I said goodbye.

Remember the good times, remember them with pride.
Remember that you loved me and I came to say goodbye.
You’re my father and you know me, excuse me if I cry.
Just came because I love you and want to say goodbye.

I came because you loved me and I said goodbye.
