We buried my father too soon

Because he'll never see me reach the heights

Of the things he often dreamed for me

He will never walk my sisters down the aisle

Or praise me when I become an attorney

He could never renew his vows to my mother

And he will never hug his granddaughter

The house I'll build, he'll never criticize

And the cars I'll buy, he'd never ride

He could not see me fall in love for the first time

And I could not run to him for any advice

The wife I'll have will never know him

But he'll be a legend to my future children

He'll only be a story in our gatherings

And to those he helped, a pleasant memory

The people around us have moved on

But the four of us is still trying strong

Because he could never grow old with my mother

Nor he would have to be taken care of by my sister

I could never spoil him with riches

And be proud of me when I'm at my earnest

He will never meet the girls I swoon

As too early he met his doom

That every night I curse the moon

That we buried my father too soon
