He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember." My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me When thunder clouds start pouring down Light a fire they can't put out Carve your name into those shinning stars He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores. Don't forsake this life of yours. I'll guide you home no matter where you are." One day my father—he told me, "Son, don't let it slip away." When I was just a kid I heard him say, "When you get older Your wild life will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid." He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember." My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me These are the nights that never die My father told meBecome A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
