So, my father recently passed away. We’d been estranged for about the last twenty five years. For that reason, I wasn’t really impacted all that much upon receiving word that he had died. This song, however, hit me really hard. What would it feel like to have a reciprocal love for a father? Must be nice. On a different note, when he wrote this song, his father had been diagnosed with advanced kidney disease. The nice thing for both James and his father is that he got a kidney transplant and recovered, last I heard.
My dad just passed away a few weeks ago and my brother came across this song we played for his funeral. I can’t stop listening to it just wish it was a bad dream I can wake up from
Iam, you have a bright future but please take care of yourself. This is not fat shaming at all, just know that your family and father would like for you to live a long and successful life. You have finally priced yourself into paradise, enjoy it.
Been playing this since my father has been going in and out of the hospital for checkups until he passed away on August 23. Just days after his birthday (Aug 19). He asked me for a favor to not take him to the hospital for a followup checkup as he wants to celebrate his birthday first, he was obviously so happy seeing all his friends being there to celebrate what turns out to be his last one. I hope he doesn't have any regrets and isn't worried about me, his only son. I love you so much Pa!
Lost my dad when I was 9 months old due to an unknown disease because we lived in a small village there was no doctors at the time, even though I didn’t get to know him,, listening to this song makes me pour out uncontrollably idk why. I will learn to sing this song to dedicate to my father
My father passed away over 20 years ago and I just found this song today and it has me crying I miss my father even now and even more so now that I'm a father myself I just hope he's proud of me
my father passed away the same year my grandfather did 4 months apart although all i had were bad memories of my father and he wasnt around in my life i forgive him and love him him, i myself am a father now with 2 sons and i do everything in my power to give them what i wanted to have with my father which is a bond thats unbreakable
My father and l butted heads. He was an army hero in WW2 then a recruiter. l was a hippie rock star musician. We never saw eye to eye. We were alone together when he died. Now all my qualities as a man are from him. I am strong, caring and a man of my word.
Oh, before they turn off all the lights I won't read you your wrongs or your rights The time has gone I'll tell you goodnight, close the door Tell you I love you once more The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Oh, well, I'll read a story to you Only difference is this one is true The time has gone I folded your clothes on the chair I hope you sleep well, don't be scared The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Sleep a lifetime Yes, and breathe a last word You can feel my hand on your own I will be the last one So I'll leave a light on Let there be no darkness, in your heart But I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away

I miss my pa. Just over a year. I feel my guiding light has faded away. Yes I am miserable as my best friend has died. Better to have loved and lost. Love is pain.
Oh, before they turn off all the lights I won't read you your wrongs or your rights The time has gone I'll tell you goodnight, close the door Tell you I love you once more The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away Oh, well, I'll read a story to you Only difference is this one is true The time has gone I folded your clothes on the chair I hope you sleep well, don't be scared The time has gone So here it is I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?

My dad choose to stay distant from me, he recently passed away and it was a hard one. We had some good memories when he was around and he did teach me feew things. I was hurt that he never told his last wife about us and she had no idea had kids at all and we werent his only kids im so jealous of people that have good dads in there lifes. Rip may your father be peacefully resting
this song hit the heart like a speeding bullet... my father and I never seen eye to eye and didn't really have the best time communicating... this song took the words right out of my mouth... even though it was like making a bull and a ram get along with us, he was still my father and i miss him dearly.
You touch my hart as I miss my dad more than anything was not met to be like that but it is . He made me the man I am today . I dont take bullshit kak . I get it done . Thanks bro
