Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
They'd wake up in the middle of the night A father and his precious only son Together they would huddle by the lamp Together they would learn the holy words And the boy felt warm And the boy felt love And the boy felt peace And the boy felt joy One night when they were huddled by the lamp The father saw his only son was cold The sight of his son shivering in the night Just broke the loving father's heart in two But the boy felt warm And the boy felt love And the boy felt peace And the boy felt joy The father said my precious precious son, I'll have to leave our learning for a while To seek our fortune on the open road To find the means to heat our humble home The boy said father please don't go Father I don't care about the cold Father A month then six then twelve passed quickly by The son continued learning on his own But sometimes in the night he'd start to cry Just aching for his father to come home The son said Father please come home Father I don't care about the cold Father One night when it was dark and it was cold He heard a muffled knocking at the door He ran and quickly pulled back on the latch His father fell in tumbling to the floor The son cried Father you are home Father Oh dear Father you are cold Father The father's face was pale and gray as ash His hands and feet were blue and cold as ice They covered him and placed him on the bed His son clung to his hand and kissed his head And the boy felt warm And the boy felt love And the boy felt peace And the boy felt joy As the color slowly crept back to his face The father weakly smiled and said dear son In my pack you'll find a shining bar of gold Enough to heat our home for years to come Then the father closed his eyes and spoke no more His son let go and crumpled to the floor The son cried father please don't go Father Father Father please stay home Father I don't care about the gold Father I don't care about the cold Father
