Bülent Aris - Father lyrics

[Intro: Jan Van Der Toorn] Father! Why did you go And leave me alone ? [Chorus: Jan Van Der Toorn] Father! Oh Father! I know it hasn't been easy To be there for me Oh my Father! Oh Father! I know it hasn't been easy But you will stay in my mind always [Verse 1] First of all we're boys our stage the playground Fight, tease, laugh on the merry go round Think about careers, who's the king with the crown We do everything to prevent going down Our nature boys must be boys In a early stage of life you got to make a choice We got to work, we got to work hard Play fair on different days with the same cards It ain't easy It ain't easy to be the man To find the right woman who cares and understands But if you do keep my words in your mind Love is God's gift unique and genuine Do me a favor think about your life Do the right think at the right place and time Have patience exactly what you need I'm blessed to be a father ask your dad "Yes indeed" [Chorus: Jan Van Der Toorn] [Verse 2] I'm sorry! Didn't mean to make you cry My dad also left and I still don't know why I miss my daddy he was strong bold and wise I wonder if I'll see him and if yes dead or alive I wanna thank and praise the Heavenly Father Protection for my family my sister and two brothers All we need is some food and shelter Keep us going on at any kind of weather A lot of families split drift apart How many men have I seen sleeping in the dark ?! You never know everybody has his story The most men smile even though they should have to worry We got to keep on we got a good reason If it's not for yourself at least the kids need the feeding I'm very proud to be the man that I am Thank you Mum and Dad I'll do the best that I can [Bridge: Jan Van Der Toorn] You did all you could, It wasn't enough I didn't understand why you were gone Now I'm a father of my own And I'm trying my best [Chorus: Jan Van Der Toorn]
