I was born on the day my father died, he loved me so

Heaven′s bells on the day he closed his eyes, down in a hole

But I can hear him singing, oh-oh-oh-oh

I want to show you that life comes in circles

I want to show you life

Drink all your whiskey and spend all your money

And let no one steal your shine

The day my father died

I was scared on the day my mother cried

She held me close

She lost a man who could ease her troubled mind

She lost it all

And I remember singing

I want to show you that life comes in circles

I want to show you life

Your heart is heavy, your load I will carry

So put your sweet hand in mine

The day my father died

The day my father died

"Put 'em down, put ′em down" my lover sighed

She loves me so

Letting go doesn't mean he'll ever leave your side

I want to show you that life comes in circles

I wanna show you life

Care for your sister, your son and your daughter

Your mother will heal in time

No self-destruction will fill up your heart

And the void that he left behind

The day my father died

The day my father died

The day my father died

I was born on the day my father died

The day my father died

I was born
