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, 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 arm I will be the last one So I'll leave the 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
