Every morning there's an old man in the park
Sitting on the same old wooden bench
And all the birds are flying around his head
Singing again and again
He's gathered all the breadcrumbs he could
In his bag to throuw them all away
To his only friends
Sometimes I can see there's a tear in his eye
And then I can feel the burden
He's been carrying for so long within his heart
The old man in the park did not come this morning
I wonder where he's gone now
Will I ever see him again
And now I'm missing him
Like a wise old friend gone without farewell
And when the rain is falling down in the park
I still can see his shadow through the dark
Proudly standing in the wind
Sometimes he seems to be smiling at me
Watching over me throughout my life
And it's been soothing me
Like the touch of an angel
The old man in the park did not come this morning
I wonder where he's gone now
Will I ever see him again
And now I'm missing him
Like a wise old friend
The old man in the park did not come this morning
I wonder where he's gone now
Will I ever see him again
He used to shine so bright
In his daughter's eyes
The old man in the park was my father
He died so many years ago
Leaving nothing
But sadness in my heart
And I'll be mourning him
Until my dying day
