What about my father?He's gone so far away.What song can reach him?What song can reach him? I can't say.He's like a little child.Just like a little child, Sleeping where he lay.Shouldn't he have a morning?Shouldn't he have a day?I remember that morning.It was such a sunny day.You sang, and you smiled.I tried to sing along.Back then I was the child,And you gave me my first song.You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.You make me happy when skies are gray.Shouldn't you have a morning?Shouldn't you have a day?What was it that I knew thenSongtexteThat I let myself forget?Wasn't my sunrise you thenAnd isn't this my sunset?Shouldn't you have a morning?Shouldn't you have a dawn?Shouldn't you have a sunrise?Shouldn't you have a song?You can forget me,But forget your sorrow too.How can my heart let me,Let me let go of you?What about my father?He's gone so far away.How can I let the dead bury you?How can I stand apart?How can I watch as that hopeful childLoses the hope of his heart?Your hands lie so harmlesslyOn a forgiven breast.You became like a child to me,Innocent and blest.Now, isn't there a heart that's all knowing?And I know what that heart would do.Wouldn't it tremble, tremble and break,Break like a morning for you?What about my father?He's gone so far away.What song can reach you?What song can reach you where you lay?Shouldn't you have a morning?Shouldn't you have a morning?Shouldn't you have a morning?Shouldn't you have a day?
