A Happy Father's Day If You Still Remember

CAT STEVENS - FATHER AND SON

It is true and most people agree that Father's Day is not as celebrated as Mother's Day because children forget their dads in later years more often than they do their mums.

Happy Father's Day to all dads in the world.

Father

It's not time to make a change,

Just relax, take it easy.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's so much you have to know.

Find a girl, settle down,

If you want you can marry.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,

To be calm when you've found something going on.

But take your time, think a lot,

Why think of everything you've got.

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son

How can I try to explain, cause when I do it turns away again.

It's always been the same, same old story.

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.

Father

It's not time to make a change,

Just sit down, take it slowly.

You're still young, that's your fault,

There's 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 I'm happy.

Son

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,

It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.

If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

I know I have to go.
