The doctor told me what was happening to him
but I didn’t understand,
I was only six

When I walk through the door
I see him,
He looks confused and sad all the time

I wait for that one day
When I will come home and he’s gone,
and then it comes

I cry myself to sleep
But I hide the tears when i'm with him,
He slowly faded away
But I know he’s up there somewhere

WATCHING OVER ME
