<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I knew you’d gone already the day I saw you there</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The tubes for breathing and monitoring in the intensive care</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It didn’t look like you Dad</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You’d already left that place</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I looked at you a few times to try to recognise your face</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I stroked your hand which wasn’t the one I knew</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Maybe someone had already come for you</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Maybe you were high above us wondering why we were all so sad</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">After all it could go either way but today wasn’t yours, was it Dad</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Did you want to go now, were you ready to drift</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I cannot believe one moment there, the next such an intense shift</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The pain is hard to release even though tears flow free</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I hope you’re not saying - come on it’s fine don’t cry anymore for me</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I want to cry for you for the loss I feel inside </span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I have such fond memories that I want to share not hide</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Some will be mine alone the others I can say</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">These will remain forever until my dying day </span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">At that point then I’ll see you I know I will for sure</span></h4>
<h4 style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-line-height-alt: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Antique Olive Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You’ll take my hand and off we’ll go for joyful times once more</span></h4>
