Letra de My Father (Remastered)
My father always promised me That we would live in France We'd go boating on the Seine And I would learn to danceWe lived in Ohio then He worked in the mines On his dreams, like boats, we knew We would sail in timeMy sisters all grew up and went away To Denver and Cheyenne Marrying their grownup dreams The lilacs and the manI stayed behind, the youngest still Only danced alone Hoping, hoping that my father's dreams would someday Take me homeI live in Paris now My children dance and dream Hearing the ways of a miner's life In words they never sayI sail my memories of home Like boats across the Seine And watch my father's eyes Watching the setting sun Set in my father's eyes again
