I Brought My Father With Me



I brought my father with me I hope that you don’t mind I couldn’t find it in me To make him stay behind Tonight the snow has fallen The trees are white and old Their heavy branches bending Can we come in from the cold? I brought my father with me Though it’s been many years Since we went down to Dolan’s For a shot and a beer When he’d take me with him And he’d buy me a Coke Oh,t surely made my day Turn about’s fair play Car trips to Pennsylvania When all of us would sing And he’d sing Bells of St. Mary’s And he sounded just like Bing Summer days down at the shore Remembering how he would Bless himself with foam Before he’d dive into the sea There are some ways I’m just like him Some ways he was just like me And sometime when the mirror’s dim His face is clear to see Tonight the winds of heaven Blow the stars across the sky I brought my father with me I couldn’t say goodbye Larry Gray: cello
