My dad was at the piano The night he met my mom She asked him to play 'I'll see you again' That old Nole Cowell song
He told him he was conceded He slung one back at her He didn't mind that her singing wasn't good When he got a good look at her
She learned that song when she was a kid Lost her dad when she was young Never got to say goodbye Maybe that's why was her son, she sing
I'll see you again Whenever spring breaks through again Though the years my tears may dry I shall love you 'til I die, goodbye
I'm out in California, I'm driving a dead meat His crying, he thought I was the first to go How could this happen to me? And said she told me never to bring him here
'Cause we drive up to that home People go to die but she keeps hanging on My dad looks down at the floor as he holds on to her hand She says to me how could he leave me here? No, he never went there again
I'll see you again Whenever spring breaks through again Though the years my tears may dry I shall love you 'til I die, goodbye
One year later in my brother's house My dad's in his dying bed As if she's already dead and gone Not a word about her is said
Later that day I visit her My brother comes along She thinks she's home with my dad Can't remember he's ever gone
My brother picks up his guitar He's saying I'll see you again My mom remembers all the words Right down to the end
I'll see you again Whenever spring breaks through again Though the years my tears my dry I shall love you 'til I die, goodbye, goodbye
Four years later I hold her hand She's asleep, just soon be gone I don't know if she can hear me But I sing for her that song And I tell her my goodbyes I'll love you 'til I die
