I was back in Belfast about 6 weeks ago from NY to see my Dad's headstone for the first time and while in the city centre heard John singing. I just had to go up and tell him that he's my "Must listen" to singer while im back in the States. An absolutely amazing voice. A joy to hear you live....Thank you.
Thank you for the gift of this cover. Saying a slow goodbye to my father who has dementia and his time is near. This song has let me shed some tears that I wasn’t sure I had. It’s a beautiful expression of our complex relationship and an equally complicated goodbye.
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
What a beautiful rendition. This song is new to me, must have had my head under a rock someplace. I still can't sing it without crying. Thank you for doing that for me.
Brilliant voice, man! All the notes are very clear, nothing was hidden, nothin was forced and you added a valuable personal tempo and note which made this song even better. I still hope to listen someday a cover for this song with an electric guitar and your voice could fit it. Maybe next time.
Amazing take on this song, simply beautiful, very pure, wholeheartedly genuine. 🙏🏼💕 God bless & condolences to all those that lost their father, regardless the relationship.
This is by far one of the best covers I've ever heard. This has more emotion to me than when James sang it. Of course, there's not the same visuals but this just seems so pure. It's so simple. My mom also loves your voice so that's a plus. She was also a big James Blunt fan when he first started getting famous ikn America. God willing I will have my mom around for a very long time but this cover will always hold a special place in my heart.
This is such a bitter sweet song. It is so beautiful. Have listened to you singing often and for me, even though I enjoy listening to everything you sing, I absolutely love hearing you singing this. The honesty of your emotions and passion makes me cry every time. You sing that song so beautifully. 💗✌️
March 8th 2023 and while I consider myself a BAD ASS, I ain't gonna lie, I miss my daddy SOOOOOO GOD DAMN MUCH, it'll be 3 years this August since you passed,so yea August ain't fun more. Videos, voicemail and pictures just make the tears fall harder. I simply just want my dad/BEST FRIEND BACK !!!😭
i lost my dad because of lung cancer,then i hate ciggarette now,but sometimes I don't quit smoking just because I want to remember my verse even when I cough

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
