I can leave this place tomorrow 
A sad-eyed supper having to turn down 
Raise a glass to old man Vasil 
Who crept across the sea to find her there 
And as their hands touched they disappear - we miss them dear 

If you could hear her voice 
That's the girl - that's the boy you took by choice 
Father all your children - greet them with a smile 
Stay with me for a while 
Sooner you'll be gone 
Sooner then you will frown 
Stay with me just for now 

Father all your children - greet them with a smile 
Stay with me for a while 
Sooner you'll be gone 
Sooner then you will frown 
Stay with me just for now
