fatherless child

heaven spoke too loud

left me a fatherless child

occurs to me everyday

but your memory makes me proud

you're the one i hold

you're the first man i loved

and all that follow

have a mountain to rise above

and there's a hole inside of me

where i put flowers so i can breathe

and though the winters have come and gone

you're still my heart

you're still my sun

somehow i always knew

what i lost was never gone

'cause there's a part of you

inside of me that carries on

and there's a hole inside of me

where i put flowers so i can breathe

and though the winters have come and gone

you're still my heart

you're still my sun

heaven spoke too loud

left me a fatherless child

and there are time you know

i really wish you were around

and i'll try to make you proud

'cause you're the break in every cloud

and i'm convinced that's why

the sun shine on me
