Lyrics WATCHING OVER YOU
My daddy said on fathers day a year before he died
That he had lived a full life having kids made life worth wild
He said that your mother was the best thing he could have had
But not being who he once was made his life sad
Chorus
He said I'M ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'M tired of fighting for who I used to be
I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do
Don't worry I'll still be here watching over you
We were sitting on the back porch about three years ago
I came out and asked him are you ready to go
He said yes I am you know that I believe
I just wanted to make sure you were ready to leave
He said I'M ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'M tired of fighting for who I used to be
I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do
Don't worry I'll still be here watching over you
I SAID you know I don't fear dying
I fear dying alone
I want to know you'll be there
When its time for me to go
And that you'll be in heaven
Where life is so unreal
Where I can give you a hug
And love I can feel
I know that your ready
And tired I can see
But I know that you'll be with me
When your soul is set free
THERE WON'T BE A DAY THAT PASSES
THAT I WON'T THINK OF YOU
When your daddy's little girl there's no love that's more true
He said I'M ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'M tired of fighting for who I used to be
I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do
Don't worry I'll still be here
He said I'M ready to go now I'm tired can't you see
I'M tired of fighting for who I used to be
I'm ready to rest now I've done all I can do
Don't worry I'll still be here watching over you
Watching over you

love the story. done well

What a sweet ballad! This song is a heartfelt tribute to the writer's dad. Carefully written lyrics, lovely melody, this song tells an engaging story that instantly draws the listener in and touches the heartstrings. The singer has a gentle voice and manner that I absolutely love. The chorus is singable, memorable and gets better every time I heard it. Instrumentation is understated, but perfect for the song. Light background harmonies add a special touch. Nicely done!

First impressions are important and from the start I liked the tone of the acoustic guitar and the compelling vocal performance. The introduction of the drums and second guitar at the one minute mark approximately really works well. In fact the second guitar plays some really lovely stuff. I like the melody and chord structure. Very nicely recorded.

A very good message and a sad story about the ending of a loved ones life. I liked the sweet story you told in the lyrics. It's pretty, it needs a few tweaks to be a realy good song. Great message.
