Lyrics
A second time (Father's song)
(T & M: Runar Bang 2001)
The village is quiet and swept by the breeze
where all you kids used to run around
Now I stand before you here under the trees
knowing that this is the holy ground
And we say goodbye, I let you fly away
just to follow you over the rivers and hills
So that I could kiss you goodbye for a second time
So that I could kiss you goodbye for a second time
Now I see you go with your silvery hair
down the same stairs that I carried you
when you were little and cried in despair,
wanting your father to comfort you
I let you go were the cold winds blow
just to follow you over the rivers and hills
So that I could kiss you goodbye for a second time
So that I could kiss you goodbye for a second time
Times that have been and times that will come
I treasure my hopes and my memories
They're keeping me warm as the evening grows long
I say a prayer for our family
That we'll meet again when the tide has turned
And you'll follow me over the rivers and hills
And we shall be a family for a second time
We shall be a family for a second time
