 1.Vers
The  things my father  said
 Would make  me a better man
Hard  work and the love  of friends
 A woman  that understands
I  hope my father  knows the seeds  we've sawn still grow
At  night I go  to sleep and pray  he's watching  over me
 Ref.
Somewhere  theres a star  thats shining
So  bright that I  can see it  smile
And  all that I need  is one last chance
 Just to here  you say... Goodbye...
 2. Vers
Sometimes  I remember  when
 You taught  me to tie my shoes
One  day I will never  forget
 Is the day  I lost you
I  hope you always  know, the car  that we built  will always  run
 Ref.
Somewhere  theres a star  thats shining
So  bright that I  can see it  smile
And  all that I need  is one last chance
 Just to here  you say... Goodbye...
 Bridge.
And  if you have  a dream
 You'd better  hang on for dear life
And  when that cold  wind blows
 Just let  it pass you  by
Yeeeah...  Things my father said
Yea-ah!  Yeah  yeah yeah!!!
 Ref.
Somewhere  theres a star  thats shining
So  bright that I  can see it  smile
And  all that I need  is one last chance
 Just to here  you say... Goodbye...
