Things My Father Said Lyrics
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 sown still grow
At night I go to sleep and pray he is watching over me.
Somewhere there's a star that's shining
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear you say goodbye.
Sometimes I remember when you taught me to tie my shoes
One thing I will never forget is the day that I lost you.
I hope you always know the car that we built will always roll.
Somewhere there's a star that's shining
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear you say goodbye.
And if you have a dream you better hang on for dear life!
And when that cold wind blows just let it pass you by.
Yeah, things my father said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Somewhere there's a star that's shining
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear... you say... goodbye, goodbye.
Just to hear you say goodbye.
Hard work and the love of friends, a woman that understands.
At night I go to sleep and pray he is watching over me.
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear you say goodbye.
One thing I will never forget is the day that I lost you.
I hope you always know the car that we built will always roll.
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear you say goodbye.
And when that cold wind blows just let it pass you by.
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear... you say... goodbye, goodbye.
Just to hear you say goodbye.

My father passed away right before high school and hearing this song actually brought a tear to my eye. All I really wanted was for my father to say goodbye but never heard it. It's meaning is simple and for some it is just that much more powerful. Props to Black Stone Cherry.
My best friend lost his dad when he was six, and this song goes out to him from me...
I also lost my grandfather, and my dad and two uncles were devastated by his loss, so it goes out to them as well!
Such a damn good song, fairly self-explanatory. I love it, brings a tear to my eye. BSC really should do more of this stuff :)
Amazing song and props to BSC. Lost my father when I was 9, and this song needs no explanation.
beautiful song
