FATHER AND SON (or in my case, a daughter)

one of the many songs i loved singing in the karaoke is cat steven's song father and son. i guess, though i am a daughter, my father always talked to me like a son. he told me his life stories, he showed me his unselfish ways of heliping others, he gave everything he had even if sometimes he had nothing left. when troubles arise, my father picks me up when i fall and remind me that no matter what happens i can deal with the storms of our lives. so it might have been a little late but belated happy father's day and happy birthday papa! for all that you've been, this one's for you. i love you!

FATHER AND SON
by Cat Stevens

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young,
thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.

Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me,
I am old,
but Im happy.

I was once like you are now,
and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time,
think a lot,
Why,
think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow,
but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain,
when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way
and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.Y
oure still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.


(son--
away away away,
I know I have to
Make this decision alone
- no)

Son
All the times that I cried,
keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree,
but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way
and I know that
I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go andMake this decision alone? )
