Mellan mig och min far

Den 9:e September gick min Pappa bort. En kraftig hjärtinfarkt drabbade honom som en blixt från klar himmel. En frisk och pigg 76 åring som gick bort på tok för tidigt. Sången "Things My Father Said" är en bra beskrivning på hur det känns efteråt (text och video nedan). Erland, du var ju ingen fena på engelska språket. Men du vet och förstår hur mycket vi saknar dig. 10-veckors rullar vidare...

Text: The Things My Father Said (Black Stone Cherry)

The things my father said would make me a better man
Hard work and the love of friends, a woman that understands.

I hope my father knows the seeds we've sown still grow
At night I go to sleep and pray he is watching over me.

Somewhere there's a star that's shining
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear you say goodbye.

Sometimes I remember when you taught me to tie my shoes
One thing I will never forget is the day that I lost you.
I hope you always know the car that we built will always roll.

Somewhere there's a star that's shining
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear you say goodbye.

And if you have a dream you better hang on for dear life!
And when that cold wind blows just let it pass you by.

Yeah, things my father said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Somewhere there's a star that's shining
so bright that I can see you smile.
And all that I need is one last chance
just to hear... you say... goodbye, goodbye.
Just to hear you say goodbye.
