What I Left Behind

(专辑： Roger Whittaker Sings... - 1971)

My father son, I follow fathers plan
Until I reach the age of twenty-three
Then all allow suitcase in my hand
I heard the closing door
And I recalled my fathers to me

You're leaving home today my son
You'll find the world is greedy, mad and blind
Just don't forget where you came from
And what you left behind
Just don't forget where you came from
And what you left behind

Marryann my girl, my love, my heart, my wife
A bond we made that only death could part
Those golden years of struggle, fight and love
Until you said: goodbye
Leaving me for someone rich and smiled

Oh father, I remember when you said the words
The world is greedy, mad and blind
I won't forget where I came from
And what I left behind
I won't forget where I came from
And what I left behind

As time goes by so every thing must change
I've worked hard and for that I have my pay
Hold father tine, as taking mom and dad
I think about the past, If only they where here
I could say:

Oh father, I remember when you said the words
The world is greedy, mad and blind
I won't forget where I came from
And what I left behind

Oh father, I remember when you said the words
The world is greedy, mad and blind
I won't forget where I came from
And what I left behind
I won't forget where I came from
And what I left behind
