If I Had Only A Chance

It happened on a cold December morning Together with my little sister I was waiting at the harbour To pick up my daddy He was returning from the sea To celebrate his birthday with us The winds increased to gale force And the thundery clouds darkened the sky Then an old fisherman told Of a boat at sea Sending out an S.O.S. We've been waiting so long Oh daddy what went wrong How we need you now and beg you please come home If I had only a chance, to see your face again Tears that I cried they would blind me, on and on If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again Words that you whispered would seem to be a song Time cures all things And years are passing by But still I can hear my sister cry I've been waiting so long Oh daddy what went wrong How I need you now, I beg you please come home If I had only a chance, to see your face again Tears that I cried they would blind me, on and on If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again Words that you whispered would seem to be a song His boat never returned It's still missing In spite of several search-operations The sailors were never found again They were certainly lost in the Atlantic If I had only a chance, to hear your voice again Words that you whispered would seem to be a song
