Candles glowing gently in the dark A clock is ticking softly in the night And I swiftly walk in my father's steps On my tiptoes, quiet as a mouse Father, dear father Will you be proud of me? I wish I could be Just like you The house is sleeping and we must be still A forbidden world on the other side And my heart's beating, my heart's beating wild I can do it all with you by my side Father, dear father Will you be proud of me? I wish I could be Just like you
