    I lost my Father three weeks ago. I just got this album and didn't know anything about this song. On my lunch break this song came on and I had to stop driving and pulled to the side of the road and cried my eyes out. No song in my life hit me as hard as this one has ever done. Thank you James for sharing your pain and helping me get through mine.

      Actually quite funny you said this. When my mum was dying, I related to no bravery so much. I know what the song is about but the fact JB was relating his seeing a broken human with no fight left in them, was exactly what I was seeing in my strong mother, and it resonated with me so much, sit her fight was vastly different x

    What I really love about James is that he always sings from his heart. You can tell by his face and rasp/shakiness of his voice that the songs he sings are emotional and true for him. He doesn't just sing songs, he relives them.

    This song healed me ! My Father passed 40 yrs ago, from cancer. I was with him, as well as his Mom, his wife, for that last week of his life. I wrote down the words he spake during his last week and wrote a song using those words. Great song BTW! But now, 40 yrs later I hear your song....and I went into grieving anew.....after a couple days I realized my grieving was for my Father's passing 40 yrs ago.....and your song ushered in my grieving that was sorely overdue.......And now, I can still Love my Father, and miss Him; but the grieving is fulfilled. Thank You James Blunt ! You helped me heal from something I didn't know I needed to be healed for. Finally, I have a peace I haven't felt my whole life. Thank You.

    Lyrics :
    Oh, before they turn off all the lights
    I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
    The time has gone
    I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
    Tell you I love you once more
    The time has gone
    So here it is
    I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away
    Oh, well I'll read a story to you
    Only difference is this one is true
    The time has gone
    I folded your clothes on the chair
    I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
    The time has gone
    So here it is
    I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away
    Sleep a lifetime
    Yes, and breathe a last word
    You can feel my hand on your own
    I will be the last one
    So I'll leave a light on
    Let there be no darkness in your heart
    But I'm not your son, you're not my father
    We're just two grown men saying goodbye
    No need to forgive, no need to forget
    I know your mistakes and you know mine
    And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
    So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
    Don't be afraid, it's my turn
    To chase the monsters away

    I cry. This song makes me think of my mother and father who both got dementia. My mother can’t live at her home since this summer and my father is going in that direction too. I’m scared and afraid of the day they will not remember who I am. I’m there only child. too. Anyway, a very beautiful and touching song. Thank you! ❤️

      So sorry to read about your Mum and Dad Anna. I'm sure that they will always remember you, but you may be one of the only people they do remember. Your parents may also remember their parents and their siblings depending on the amount of contact with them as a small child especially, and growing up as well. Everyone is different of course but this is often what happens. I'm hoping they always remember you and thought is creative so there you go...best wishes for your future Anna. James is so good and getting to the heart of a situation and just laying it bear so beautifully in song...masterful music making man!!

      Anna-Lena❤️, My Father passed away a few years ago, in my arms. He suffered from dementia for 8 years, but he always remembered me & my name. He didn’t remember my mother, or my 4 siblings. I can’t help but think that if you are their only child, your Mom & Dad will know you, even when it seems they’re “not mentally there.” When my Dad was in hospice, dying, I laid next to him and sang his favorite song. He wasn’t supposed to be alert, being under very heavy sedation, yet he squeezed my hand and tears ran down his smiling face. 💝 The nurse said it was impossible, but my sister and brother witnessed it. Hold on, Sweetie!🤗 You’re in my thoughts and prayers today! ❤️🙏🏼❤️ If you don’t have hope or peace, you Can find it in God & Jesus Christ! This is the only way, through my faith in God, that I can continue caring for my Mom at home, who also has dementia. ❤️ God Bless You!

    I knelt by the bed where my father later died that night, his emaciated body torn with the pain of 4th stage lung cancer, his tossing and turning fed by massive doses from a morphine drip set up by hospice in his last house. "Mary is here," his third wife told him and he thrashed to see me, reached for my hand. I cried and said, "God, please just take him." And God did. This song....this song....thank you.

    James, this song has struck a deep chord with me. As a kidney donor, your song reminded me of my fight to keep my mom alive when she went into end-stage renal failure, how my mother pulled out of this was amazing and a battle with nurses and doctors that I am most proud of. My mom and I had a successful kidney transplant on May 25, 2010. This prolonged her life for an additional six years, which allowed her to meet my youngest daughter. It is very difficult when we are facing the death of a parent and your song is simply beautiful. I have probably listened to it a thousand times in the last week.

    This explains the development of my relationship with my dear dad. He’s still with me and I count everyday a blessing. I moved from two states away to be near him and my momma. I commute back and forth for work each week. My dear king wife makes it all work and we will one day be back taking care of her parents who are a decade plus younger than mine but the sacrifices now are so small compared to this time with them.

    In an era where the majority of music lyrics lack any real substance this song stands alone. It's so moving, I've been trying to listen to it and sing along for 3 days, without success. Every time I choke up. Enjoy each moment with your loved ones, that time is precious. You can never get enough, and will always wish you had more when they're gone.

    My dad died suddenly from a cardiac arrest while he was out and about one day. He died alone with no family beside him. I was countries away and the last time I saw him was 3 yrs ago before Covid hit. I've only recently discovered this song, and to say that this hit me like a truck is a massive understatement. It wrecks me and heals me every time I hear it. I wish I could've given him comfort during his last hours. I am a Daddy's girl through and through and I will carry this regret in my heart until the day I see him again. RIP, Daddy. You are sorely missed.

    I lost my father June 17th me and my brother and my grandmother held his hand and he held our and as they took of the bi pap that was keeping him alive I played this song on my phone as loud as it would go and I help his hand until his heart had not another beat and the second his heart stopped was when this song ended. He heard every word and we lived this song. Idk your story but I sure am thankful your on this planet James Blount. There’s not a more perfect voice for a more perfect song that tells the story of me and my fathers last two years together. I was so very blessed to be able to be with my father 24/7 for the hardest fight he ever had to fight. We didn’t become close more understand each other the first 34 years but on June 17th we knew everything and understood each other and loved each other and the first promise I ever kept to him was full-filled in that I told him the day I moved into his home that from that day he would never have to worry about someone not being his everything becouse I wouldn’t leave his side no matter how long he stayed in a hospital or a rehab center or if he chose not to that I’d be right beside him every single day. And I was. And it ended with me being able to play this song he had never heard before. I was proud just as I was lost and crushed. So thank you truly

    I stopped speaking to my 70yr old father few years ago and he’s never met my daughter. I’ve done right in life and he forever sees me as a failure if I don’t always bend the knee to him and do as he says with my own life I earned. He gives me nothing and all I ask for is a grandfather. He refuses and puts himself, his land and 3rd wife above all 6 of his Kids and 12 grandkids. This songs for you Dad. Ive played piano for 20yrs and he’s never heard my fingers fall. I’m going to learn it on piano for you Dad. Goodbye.
