By some thousand days war in Vietnam
By executive peace mission, you were in Saigon
And by accident, you made acquaintance with an innocent pretty girl
In one beautiful day of spring
Both of you fell in love with each other
Then, one dismal and unforeseen day arrived
You got away without a word
From the day, you vanished away
Under our cold roof, no more joking no more laughing
Mom and I, we cried and cried
Every moonlight night, she stood still alone outside
And let two tears running down over her cheeks
Papa. Listen to me please
I hope to see my mom smile
But, she just died yester-night
The sky swam before my eyes
Tears and fears encircled me
I felt so lonely
Without Papa, then mom just said farewell to life
And every inexperienced thing in life in a foreign country
Make me feel quite so embarrassed
Papa, don't stay away anymore from me please
I'm your real half-caste Vietnam America sole young daughter
Papa you do know
I need fatherliness
I need Papa's love
I need Papa's care
And I need Papa's protection
You're always my father
Don't leave me behind anymore
I'm expecting you
Where are you Papa
I love you |
