about

This track was written for my dear old Dad who passed away in 2011. I didn't feel comfortable sharing it at first as the lyrics are very personal to me and my family. It was in fact, almost a year after it's completion until I uploaded it to bandcamop. I think it's a beautiful song written for a beautiful man. I hope you enjoy it for what it is.

lyrics

Spread Your Wings

I could only hope to be, missed half as much as you, by me.
And I could only wish to leave, half as much as you left me.
And I, could only hope to be, half the man you were.

Chorus
I held your hand (as you slipped away)
I stroked your head (as you slipped away)
I had to say...Goodbye.

You were always going to be, twice the man that you taught me.
And I was glad to be with you, as you were always there for me.
And I, I watched you slip away into the deepest sleep.

Chorus

Spread your wings, and fly away, the time is right.
Spread your wings, it's time that you gave up the fight.
Spread your wings, and always know that...
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You

Night Night Old Boy...Sleep Tight! xxxx
