My dad was at the piano
The night he met my mom
She asked him to play Iâll see you again
That old Nole Cowell song
He told him he was conceded
He slung one back at her
He didnât mind that her singing wasnât good
When he got a good look at her
She learned that song when she was a kid
Lost her dad when she was young
Never got to say goodbye
Maybe thatâs why was her son
She sing.
Iâll see you again
Whenever spring breaks through again
Though the years my tears may dry
I shall love you til I die. goodbye
Iâm out in California
Iâm driving a dead meat
His crying, he thought I was the first to go
How could this happen to me?
And said she told me never to bring him here
Cause we drive up to that home
People go to die
But she keeps hanging on
My dad looks down at the floor
As he holds on to her hand
She says to me how could he leave me here?
No, he never went there again
Iâll see you again
Whenever spring breaks through again
Though the years my tears may dry
I shall love you til I die. goodbye
One year later in my brotherâs house
My dadâs in his dying bed
As if sheâs already dead and gone
Not a word about her is said
Later that day I visit her
My brother comes along
She thinks sheâs home with my dad
Canât remember heâs ever gone
My brother picks up his guitar
Heâs saying Iâll see you again
My mom remembers all the words
Right down to the end
Iâll see you again
Whenever spring breaks through again
Though the years my tears my dry
I shall love you til I die. goodbye
Goodbye.
Four years later I hold her hand
Sheâs asleep, just soon be gone
I donât know if she can hear me
But I sing for her that song
And I tell her my goodbyes
Iâll love you til I die
