Nina Simone - My Father слова песни
My father always promised meThat we would live in FranceWe`d go boating on the SeineAnd I would learn to danceWe lived in Ohio thenHe worked in the minesOn his dreams like boatsWe knew we would sail in timeAll my sisters soon were goneTo Denver and CheyenneMarrying their grownup dreamsThe lilacs and the manI stayed behind the youngest stillOnly danced aloneThe colors of my father`s dreamsFaded without a soundAnd I live in Paris nowMy children dance and dreamHearing the ways of a miner`s lifeIn words they`ve never seenI sail my memories of homeLike boats across the SeineAnd watch the Paris sunAs it sets in my father`s eyes againMy father always promised usThat we would live in FranceWe`d go boating on the SeineAnd I would learn to danceI sail my memories of homeLike boats across the SeineAnd watch the Paris sunAs it sets in my father`s eyes again
