The sun has set and golden clouds
Gleaming in the evening sky
I must confess, Id always hoped
Today would pass me byOh dad, I really hate to see
The sadness in your eyes
We always knew this day would come
It cant be a surpriseWe had a special day together
You were always my best friend
But the princess and the old king
Knew this day would endA perfect day, a perfect day with you
Just a perfect day of perfect hours, no other word would do
A perfect day, a day for you and I
Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I cant say goodbyeIt was always I who said, "Ill see you soon"
When you were young
So many things we left unsaid
So many songs unsungDad, dont worry now Im grown
Itll be okay
You taught me well, so trust me now
And Ill be on my wayWe had a special day together
You were always my best friend
But the princess and the old king
Knew this day would endA perfect day, a perfect day with you
Just a perfect day of perfect hours, no other word would do
A perfect day, a day for you and I
Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I cant say goodbyeA perfect day, a day for you and I
Now the evening shadows chill my heart and I cant say
Im leaving home, goodbye
