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
