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
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 well 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 own
I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness in your heart
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
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
