Lyrics
This will be our last goodbye.
And I?ll stand here but will not cry.
For you are gone, and now so I
Will take your place as the next in line.
As so men live, so must they try
To plant the seed for the next in line.
And so I?ll strive with each day gone by
To teach my child as the next in line.
As time goes by our children grow.
And we will teach them all we know.
For a day will come in time
When they will be the next in line.
Farewell to you my father, mine.
Rest in peace ?till the end of time.
And I will follow you in time
And leave my daughter the next in line.
