father tell me
how was mother
for i was only three
when she past away
parfume roses apple pie
make me sad
i don't know why
may be it's when they're around
i feel she'd never die
never die
oh father tell me
was she pretty
in all my children's dream
she looks like a queen
father tell me
was she happy
when she was still around
here with you and me
nursery rhythms and baby cry
make her sad
i don't know why
may be she knew long ago
that she had to leave
had to leave
oh father
i can see her
right before me
and it's like yesterday
that she went away
and it's like yesterday
that she went away
oh father
tell me
and it's like yesterday
that she went away
oh father
tell me
and it's like yesterday
that she went away
