Give me just one chance just to say goodbye.
Just one time dear Lord let me see his face.
Cried for days, asking, why so soon to die?

Always gave his love when he could stay dry,
Always reaching out to us to give his embrace
Give me just one chance just to say goodbye.

The bottle held his devil taking him so high
Giving rise to talk and mom’s mute disgrace.
Cried for days, asking, why so soon to die?

Everyone loved our dad even when gone awry.
Then one day he stopped and gave his devil chase
Give me just one chance just to say goodbye.

Got to know the Lord but I still ask “why”,
You took him over Jordan so soon from our embrace.
Give me just one chance just to say goodbye.
Cried for days, asking, why so soon to die?
