lessons from my father

lyrics

LAST SAIL
Words and Music by Robert E. Ellis © 2007

Well its anchors away

Again my son

And I’m sailing to

My journey’s end

Chorus:

Don’t be sad
Don’t you cry
Hug your Mom
Tell her why

You just stop and take the time
From the storm raging in your mind
Cause I’m always there with you
I'm in their eyes

Well its anchors away my son
Take the helm and steer
Her true and firm

Don’t be sad
Don’t you cry
Hug your Mom
Tell her why

It’s the wake you leave behind
That ripples and moves with time
I’m gone but there with you
I’m in their smiles


Well its anchors away again my son
Hold on fast and rise above each storm

Don’t be sad
Don’t you cry
Hug your Mom
Tell her why

That legacies pass with time
From the father on down the line
With each child born you’ll find
I’m in their hearts

Well its anchors away, again, for sure
And the lessons you leave are tried and pure

Won’t be sad
I won’t cry
Hug my Mom
Tell her why

That love will never fade
Once it’s lived and sown with care
With the choices made each day
To be a family man

His love of music started as a child crowded around the piano in his Grandparents' tiny NYC apartment. His songs are honest and heartfelt and Rob’s tenor voice lets loose to the accompaniment of angelic backup singers and a host of incredible musicians ... more
