[Intro]
[Verse 1]
He worked through the mornings,
He labored through the night,
Carried every burden,
So his children could take flight.
He gave them every chance he never had,
Opened doors with all he earned,
Sent them to the finest schools,
While his own dreams slowly burned.
[Pre-Chorus]
He never bought the things he wanted,
Never lived for luxury,
Every sacrifice he made
Was for his family.
[Chorus]
Now it's only the setting sun beside him,
And the rising sun to greet his day,
The house is full of memories,
But all his children are far away.
He doesn't need their money,
He doesn't need a grand display,
He only wants their love around him,
Before his years all fade away.
[Verse 2]
They took their mother with them,
Built new lives across the sea,
Busy chasing bigger futures,
Living out his legacy.
The phone rings less with every season,
The visits become rare,
And the man who built their world
Sits alone in an empty chair.
[Pre-Chorus]
He recalls every birthday,
Every milestone they would share,
He whispers to the quiet walls
That he was always there.
[Chorus]
Now it's only the setting sun beside him,
And the rising sun to greet his day,
The house is full of memories,
But all his children are far away.
He doesn't need their money,
He doesn't need a grand display,
He only wants their love around him,
Before his years all fade away.
[Bridge]
If love could travel space and time,
Let them hear him softly call,
If hands could reach across the miles,
He’d catch them one and all.
[Chorus]
Now it's only the setting sun beside him,
And the rising sun to greet his day,
The house is full of memories,
But all his children are far away.
He doesn’t need their money,
He doesn’t need a grand display,
He only wants their love around him,
Before his years all fade away.
[Outro]
