Answer 2

The Day, The Weak And The Weather by Firehouse

It's about the person's father who left his family for another woman.

It seems just like yesterday
When Julie showed up and took daddy away
The way that dress wore her, a fitting reminder
That year everything felt so cold
Mom was so young, now she's feeling so old
No matter how she tries, she can't put it behind her

I went from 8 to 18, dad went from me to her

I remember the day and the week and the weather
The smile on your face as you walked away
I remember the part where he left us forever
At the time I thought that it was the end
Can you remember how you loved me then?

Let it go I will say no
I can't care anymore, I can't love anymore
I tried to hold onto something that I lost before

Answer 3

That's My Job by Conway Twitty

I woke up crying late at night
when I was very young.
I had dreamed my father
had passed away and gone.

My world revolved around him
I couldnt lay there anymore.
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
and tapped upon his door.

And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
how will I go on with you gone that way?
Don't wanna cry anymore
so may I stay with you?"

And he said "That's my job,
that's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you,
To keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see."

Later we barely got along
this teenage boy and he.
Most of the fights it seems
were over different dreams,
we each held for me.

He wanted knowledge and learning.
I wanted to fly out west.
Said, "I could make it out there
if I just had the fare.
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"

And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
there's no guarantee in the plans
I've made and if I should fail,
who will pay my way back home?"

And he said "That's my job
that's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you
to keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see."

Every person carves his spot
and fills the hole with light.
And I pray someday I might
light as bright as he.

Woke up early one bright fall day
to spread the tragic news.
After all my travel, I settled down
within a mile or two.

I make my living with words and rhyme
and all this tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead
as bits of poetry.

But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid,
how will I go on with you gone this way?
How can I come up with a song to say
I love you?"

That's my job, That's what I do
Everything I do is because of you
to keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see.
Everything I do is because of you
to keep you safe with me.
