My Father Died

[Intro]
My father died in his sleep last night
He had no pain at all, they said
Just after he made a call, they said, to me

[Verse 1]
He said, "I love you, my baby
I'll see you tomorrow at three
We'll meet at the Plaza for tea
Just like we used to do
And we'll talk about the times on the Vineyard
Father's Day at school
The time we sang the 'Moonlight Sonata'
In the swimming pool"

[Chorus]
Daddy, you'll never see
My baby made by your child—your baby

[Verse 2]
"And we'll walk in the park when the baby comes
I'll show him the seals in the zoo
Just like I did with you
When you were a child
And I'll teach him how to play the piano
Read from 'Winnie the Pooh'
He'll sit on my lap and laugh with me
The way you used to do"

[Chorus]
Daddy, you'll never see
My baby made by your child—your baby

[Outro]
My father died in his sleep last night
He had no pain at all, they said
Just after he made a call, they said, to me
