Saying Goodbye Dave Levine, Erin Ann Scott

I will sit and watch you sleep Just like you did for me when I was a little girl And I will sit by your bedside my sweet And watch you slip away into the next world

Tell me I’m dreaming Tell me everything’s all right Just like you did for me in the middle of all those nights Tell me a story Make all my demons go away Because saying goodbye to daddy is a little more Than this little girl can take

I would sit and hear you play Watch you work that trombone feels like yesterday You brought me music to my world And now your gift’s passed down to my little baby girl

Tell me I’m dreaming Tell me everything is fine Just like you did for me time and time Tell me a story Bring me sunlight to my day Because saying goodbye to daddy is a little more Than this little girl can take

I can’t let you go Please don’t leave me behind You won’t ever go Because you’ll always be here in my mind

I will sit and watch you sleep Just like you did for me when I was a little girl And I will sit by your bedside my sweet And watch you slip away into the next world And watch you slip away into the next world And watch you slip away into the next world
