That day when you were leaving dad
As you going through the door,
You looked around your home once more
Your eye's were so unsure.
I knew what you were thinking,
You looked up as though to ask
Tell me what is happening
Will i be coming back?
I stood with my heart breaking,
I gave you one last smile.
I told you not to worry
You'd be home in a short while.
I know this was untrue dad
But what else could i do,
I couldn't help but tell you this
For fear of hurting you.
No one know's the heartache
Of telling such a lie,
To keep the truth from one you love
Knowing their going to die.
Of all the thing's iv'e done in life,
The thing's iv'e had to do.
The hardest thing i ever did
Was tell those lie's to you.
You just don't know how useless
And helpless it made me feel.
Everything was like a dream,
Everything was so unreal.
I prayed to God to let you stay
But he would not change his mind,
He took you in his keeping
And i was left behind.
Now to your grave i visit,
I'll never let you down.
For to me you were the King on earth
Who didn't need a crown.
