I don’t think I’ll ever see them smile again
From the last time they stood happy together
To now when they live so far apart
There is no time to be cheerful
(Time is overrated)

And I guess daddy’s never coming back now
I hope this isn’t the last time I see his face
Mother, mother dear
Please don’t cry for him

I hope there’s time for me to flee
Don’t think I can live in this house anymore
Please just don’t remember me
There is no time to dwell on the past
(Time is overrated)

And I guess daddy’s never coming back now
I hope this isn’t the last time I see his face
Mother, mother dear
Please don’t cry for him

And all this time was spent on him
And all this time was wasted
And all this time was spent on her
And all this time was wasted
Please don’t dwell on the memory of me

And I guess daddy’s never coming back now
I hope this isn’t the last time I see his face
Mother, mother dear
Please don’t cry for him

Please don’t cry
