my Dad & i
we live together
just He & i
through fair & stormy weather

He's 85
and waitin' to die
i'm 55
and just watchin' time pass bye

my Dad & i
we take care of each other
but i can't lie
we miss Mother

she passed on
in 2003
my Dad & i, we go on
just He & me

and when He's passed on
it'll just be me
when He's gone
Who will "I" Be?

my Dad & i, He & me
each day we try
to just see - what will be will be
me & He ... We get by

my Dad & i
we have this time together
and when He's gone i'll cry
but He's my Dad Forever
