If I Had Only A Chance
It happened on a cold December morningTogether with my little sisterI was waiting at the harbourTo pick up my daddyHe was returning from the seaTo celebrate his birthday with usThe winds increased to gale forceAnd the thundery clouds darkened the skyThen an old fisherman toldOf a boat at seaSending out an S.O.S.We’ve been waiting so longOh daddy what went wrongHow we need you now and beg you please come home
If I had only a chance, to see your face againTears that I cried they would blind me, on and onIf I had only a chance, to hear your voice againWords that you whispered would seem to be a song
Time cures all thingsAnd years are passing byBut still I can hear my sister cry
I’ve been waiting so longOh daddy what went wrongHow I need you now, I beg you please come home
If I had only a chance, to see your face againTears that I cried they would blind me, on and onIf I had only a chance, to hear your voice againWords that you whispered would seem to be a song
His boat never returnedIt’s still missingIn spite of several search-operationsThe sailors were never found againThey were certainly lost in the Atlantic
If I had only a chance, to hear your voice againWords that you whispered would seem to be a song
