through love and beatles songs
One of eight, a boy grows up listening to Beatles music
He sings along to every song
And hopes his voice is heard
He sings of love and "Let it Be"
His family sings along
The eight of them get through divorce
By singing Beatles songs
The boy grows up and moves away
Becomes bitter with that place
He supports himself and loves his mom
But won't see his Dad's face
It takes him years to reconcile that pain that he went through
But through some laughs and Beatles songs
He finds his Dad's love too
He works through college and makes his way
He fights through cares and strife
At karoake he sings a Beatles song
And finds the love of his life
Twenty five years later, that boy is my Dad
He still sings Beatles songs
Me and my three siblings know all the words
And always sing along
He works full time to support us all
Hates his job and feels alone
But when he's down he'll stop and sing
"The Long and Winding Road"
He still sings karaoke
Though he often forgets the words
But as the head of our family, his voice is always heard
Through everything we've faced
Every financial trouble and every storm
Every loss my Dad has gone through
Every winter that isn't warm
We know we can always count on him
To keep us moving along
There's not a thing that can't be fixed
By love and Beatles songs.
