Tell Me You're Joking

He couldn't believe What his mama said They put him in their car, And he got scared She looked at him In a such painful way Oh please mama, Don't torture me this way She held in close And tears fell down He thought of The words she'd said Your father is gone Oh no, this can not be My father would never leave me So tell me you are joking, mama She said he didn't suffer, Because he was drunk But how could she know She wasn't there when he sunk Oh no, this can not be My father would never leave me So tell me you are joking, mama He thought He would accept it As time passed by But still there are moments When he has to cry He feels his father Should have been there Through the years But he'll always Send him love Through thoughts And through years --- Tell Me You're Joking - Sophie Zelmani
