I remember the face of my father, As we walked back home from the mine. He'd laugh and he'd say, that's one more day, And it's good to feel the sunshine.
I remember my father was smiling, As I set out to make my own way. She seemed to know that I had to go, But I'd come back home one day.
Take me home, to my family, Take me home, to my friends Take me home where my heart lies And let me, let me, let me sing again.
Now the years have rolled by around me, I've seen the sun shine and rain. It's been so long since I heard that song, And I dream of home once again.
I remember the face of my father, As we walked back home from the mine. He'd laugh and he'd say, that's one more day, And it's good to feel the sunshine.
