Oh before they turn off all the lights

I won't read you your wrongs or your rights

The time has gone

I'll tell you goodnight close the door

Tell you I love you once more

The time has gone

So here it is

I'm not your son

You're not my father

We're just two grown men saying goodbye

No need to forgive

No need to forget

I know your mistakes and you know mine

And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud

So daddy won't you just close your eyes

Don't be afraid

It's my turn to chase the monsters away

Oh well I'll read a story to you

Only difference is this one is true

The time has gone

I folded your clothes on the chair

I hope you sleep well don't be scared

The time has gone

So here it is

I'm not your son

You're not my father

We're just two grown men saying goodbye

No need to forgive

No need to forget

I know your mistakes and you know mine

And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud

So daddy won't you just close your eyes

Don't be afraid

It's my turn to chase the monsters away

Sleep a lifetime

Yes and breathe a last word

You can feel my hand on your own

I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on

Let there be no darkness in your heart

But I'm not your son

You're not my father

We're just two grown men saying goodbye

No need to forgive

No need to forget

I know your mistakes and you know mine

And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud

So daddy won't you just close your eyes

Don't be afraid

It's my turn to chase the monsters away
