Gregory Mann - Ciao Papa Lyrics

[Verse 1]Ciao papa, mio papaTime has come to say farewellFor how long will I go? Is it far?No one knows, no one can tell[Chorus]If I am gone for a long, long timeI'll pack away a fine piece of shineThe sounds of birds chirping with bellsDrawings of plums, two bags of shellsThe smell of bread, a drop of wineYour memory, father of mineFarewell, my papa[Verse 2]Ciao papa, mio papaTime has come to say farewellI am ready to go, going farNow I know it will be swell[Chorus]I shall be gone for a long, long timeShall be picking many peaks to climbMaybe I'll see a camel cryDangerous pirates with a black eyeRain or shine, I'll keep in mindYour memory, father of mineFarewell, my papa[Chorus]And as I gambol on my long, long climbI hold on tight to our best of timesEyes in the rain, I tried to hideTears of a boy who shouldn't cryForevermore I'll keep in mindYour memory, father of mineFarewell, my papa
