If I Had Only A Chance
It happened on a cold December morning
Together with my little sister
I was waiting at the harbour
To pick up my daddy
He was returning from the sea
To celebrate his birthday with us
The winds increased to gale force
And the thundery clouds darkened the sky
Then an old fisherman told
Of a boat at sea
Sending out an S.O.S.
We've been waiting so long
Oh daddy what went wrong
How we need you now and beg you please come home
If I had only a chance, to see your face again
Tears that I cried they would blind me, on and on
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again
Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
Time cures all things
And years are passing by
But still I can hear my sister cry
I've been waiting so long
Oh daddy what went wrong
How I need you now, I beg you please come home
If I had only a chance, to see your face again
Tears that I cried they would blind me, on and on
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again
Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
His boat never returned
It's still missing
In spite of several search-operations
The sailors were never found again
They were certainly lost in the Atlantic
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again
Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
Together with my little sister
I was waiting at the harbour
To pick up my daddy
He was returning from the sea
To celebrate his birthday with us
The winds increased to gale force
And the thundery clouds darkened the sky
Then an old fisherman told
Of a boat at sea
Sending out an S.O.S.
We've been waiting so long
Oh daddy what went wrong
How we need you now and beg you please come home
If I had only a chance, to see your face again
Tears that I cried they would blind me, on and on
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again
Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
Time cures all things
And years are passing by
But still I can hear my sister cry
I've been waiting so long
Oh daddy what went wrong
How I need you now, I beg you please come home
If I had only a chance, to see your face again
Tears that I cried they would blind me, on and on
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again
Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
His boat never returned
It's still missing
In spite of several search-operations
The sailors were never found again
They were certainly lost in the Atlantic
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again
Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
