As my soul slides down to die.

How could I lose him?

What did I try?

Bit by bit, I've realized

That he was here with me;

I looked into my father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

I looked into my father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

My father's eyes.

I looked into my father's eyes.

My father's eyes.
