Every Time (Heart of a Father) An Original Song by Chesterton Music

Hello Friends

I wrote this song as my attempt to grieve along side a valued friend to many and member of our community.

Sammy,
when words don't suffice, I make music. This is a situation where words in no way suffice. May you and your family be blessed and protected during this difficult time.

Grieve well my friend.

-Chesterton

"Every Time (Heart of a Father)"

You’d push your nose up to the door
Couldn’t keep your little face away
And though things would change
Two things we’d always know
I’d come home and
You would smile at me

I never knew just what to say
When you needed to be close to me
I’m so happy that you hugged me anyway
So I’ll always know
Just how it feel to be have you here

How many times did I kiss you goodnight?
How many times did I try to get it right?
How many times did you fill me with delight?
Every time

Every single waking day
No part of you will I regret
You were perfect to the time you closed your eyes
And I’ll see you
The moment I close mine

How many times did I kiss you goodnight?
How many time did I try to make it right?
How many times did you fill me with delight?
Every time
