Hard to Forget

1st verse
The little girl lifts up her head
Looks at her daddy, smiles and says:
“Where ya going, don’t you love us anymore?”
Dirty tears roll down her face
Naïve eyes can’t see the pain
Or the reason why he’s walking out that door
Her mother tries to comfort her but it’s too late
She’s finding out her life is gonna change

1st Chorus
When she wakes up he won’t be there, reading the paper in his favorite chair
No good-bye kisses before work, or playing artist in his old shirt
The life she knew back then is something that will be hard to forget

2nd verse
Her mothers’ words aren’t making sense
They said “I do,” and now “I quit”
Don’t they know that family never gives up?
The first time she’d seen them fight
Turned out to be their last try
And the moment she wished her eyes had closed shut
Her father tries to comfort her but it’s too late
She’s finding out her life is gonna change

2nd chorus
When she comes down to eat she’ll see, only two plates at their table for three
Over the phone hugs to tuck her in and lonely stories read without him
The life she knew back then is something that’ll be hard to forget

Repeat 1st and 2nd chorus
When she wakes up he won’t be there, reading the paper in his favorite chair
No good-bye kisses before work, or playing artist in his old shirt
The life she knew back then is something that will be hard to forget
When she comes down to eat she’ll see, only two plates at their table for three
Over the phone hugs to tuck her in and lonely stories read without him
The life she knew back then is something that’ll be hard to forget

IF YOU SMILE
Words & Music by Fernando Gonzalo

If you smile, girl
The sun would shine my day
If you love me, girl
The moon would light my way
We would go for a ride
To the sky, you and I
We would sail across the seas
You and me
We would walk by this world
With your smile and my song
We would light our fire
With our love

If you smile girl
I'd hear the rolling waves
If you love me girl
The stars would fill the space
We would ride wild and free
On a horse you and me
We would run, run away
From here
We would fly, we would swim
We'd fulfill all our dreams
We would share our short life
With our love

DEATH ROW

Lying on the bunk, I think about her
How she used to love me all night long
Cops didn't find what really happened
Now I'm waiting execution on death row

I heard she had been meeting with my partner
I was hopeless, totally in despair
I found them in my bed they had been murdered
Now I'm waiting execution on death row x2

They
Caught me
They
Beat me down
They
Chained me
And I'm
Waiting execution on death row

Brought me my last meal, it's getting darker
Didn't want a priest to save my soul
Only God and I know my innocence
Waiting execution on death row

Hearing now the jailer is approaching
Save me Lord and open up your door
A thunder in my heart, a storm is coming
Waiting execution on death row x2

They
Caught me
They
Beat me down
They
Chained me
And I'm
Waiting execution on death row

Today, more than ever, it is necessary to build bridges and don't break the bonds that unite us whatever our origin and condition.
