Lyrics

I've been thinking of you father.
Missing you the way you were.
You were a mess on your best of days.
But love was never in decline.

I've been missing you father.
The way you would burst with life.
No one could say, that you didn't live every day
finding the upside.


Were you proud?
Were you proud?
Were you proud of me?

I loved you father, did you know?
You were gone before I could tell you so.
But were you proud of me?


Success is a relative term.
It's all you ever wanted for your children.
Put in 40 years pushing rails missing out on our tears

Oh my father
Worked so very hard to provide.
Never a day went by when your eyes didn't sparkle.
Loud and alive.


I was proud
So very proud
I was proud of you.

You loved me father, this I know.
You didn't even have to tell me.
I was so proud of you.


Oh my Father.
You went way too soon.
But you suffered for far too long anyway.
Your breath so heavy it cleared the room,

Oh Father
Looking back I wish I'd have stayed.
To gaze in your eyes one more time
and tell you what you already knew
