Jim Johnston, Adam Cunningham - Don't Forget About Me lyrics
[Jim Johnston, Adam Cunningham - Don't Forget About Me lyrics]
I grew up on a farm with fields
Of green that stretched
For miles into the sun
Still hear my daddy telling me "son
Freedom don't come for free"
It took a while to
Learn what those words mean
And now, a million miles away I look
Out on the land, that’s grey and cold as all
Just doing what I'm told
'cause that’s the job I chose
And now I know what dad's words really mean
But oh my god, the suffering I've seen
Don't forget about me
I'm still here just doing what I know
And I was proud to go
But God knows how I'm missing you tonight
Don't forget about me
'Cause when you close your
Eyes tonight you’ll be right here next to me
And someday soon I’ll be coming home to you
Tell my son that I'll be home
Pretty soon he and I will be playing ball
Tell my daughter "don’t be scared"
Tell her "daddy still right here"
Someday I will walk her down the aisle
Daddy's got to stay work awhile
Don't forget about me
I'm still here just doing what I know
And I was proud to go
But God knows how I’m missing you tonight
Don't forget about me
When you close your eyes tonight you'll be
Right here next to me
And someday soon I'll be coming home to you
I ain't no hero, don't think I don't scared
Then I close my eyes and I see you
That's the thing that always pulls me through
But don't forget about me
'Cause, I'm still here just doing what I know
And I was proud to go
But God knows how I'm missing you tonight
Don't forget about me
One day I'll come walking through that door
And you won't cry no more
And I really will be there right next to you
'Cause one day pray this
Fighting will be through
Of green that stretched
For miles into the sun
Still hear my daddy telling me "son
Freedom don't come for free"
It took a while to
Learn what those words mean
And now, a million miles away I look
Out on the land, that’s grey and cold as all
Just doing what I'm told
'cause that’s the job I chose
And now I know what dad's words really mean
But oh my god, the suffering I've seen
Don't forget about me
I'm still here just doing what I know
And I was proud to go
But God knows how I'm missing you tonight
Don't forget about me
'Cause when you close your
Eyes tonight you’ll be right here next to me
And someday soon I’ll be coming home to you
Tell my son that I'll be home
Pretty soon he and I will be playing ball
Tell my daughter "don’t be scared"
Tell her "daddy still right here"
Someday I will walk her down the aisle
Daddy's got to stay work awhile
Don't forget about me
I'm still here just doing what I know
And I was proud to go
But God knows how I’m missing you tonight
Don't forget about me
When you close your eyes tonight you'll be
Right here next to me
And someday soon I'll be coming home to you
I ain't no hero, don't think I don't scared
Then I close my eyes and I see you
That's the thing that always pulls me through
But don't forget about me
'Cause, I'm still here just doing what I know
And I was proud to go
But God knows how I'm missing you tonight
Don't forget about me
One day I'll come walking through that door
And you won't cry no more
And I really will be there right next to you
'Cause one day pray this
Fighting will be through
