Lyrics

Father's Day Card

I once knew a man
who was living his dream
He would teach them to dance
like kings and like queens
Nobody knew
what was ticking inside
We he had to give in
he would go for a ride

He'd ride to the arms
of the dark side of life
Where each of our storms
rip the canvas of night

But tragedy
does not always strike fast
It keeps two steps behind
'til your pace slows at last
I sometimes believed
that he just might let go
The image burns in my mind
but I can't read the note

'Cause we've never been close
though he's never been far
He's stranger that loves me
no matter where we are
His blood burns in my heart

So I offer this song
It's my Father's Day card
They sometimes come so easy
but this one was hard
this one was hard
I now know a man
who was not what he seemed
But he was the man
He was the man
who taught me to dream
