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 good night, close the door

I'll 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

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

'Cause 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
