Original tune unknown – please let us know if you know the original tune
I’m an old man, who just-turned eighty three,
and my-son Moish, works in-the-big city.
But each and every day, that I feel lonely, I call him right to me, He comes, however busy he-may-be.
One day I asked him son, how can this be,
He said to me, dad, what can-you-possibly mean.
I said Moish, my-dear-son, you are in business which is tough my boy,
yet here you stand with such warmth and joy.
(Chorus)
He said that I’m your son, and I love you so,
and love can only grow,
you do the same for me,
throughout my childhood, you’ve always been right there,
with tender loving care, whenever the need be.
Moish went to work, today-was his-big break,
his fame-and-business, they were both at stake,
I had a heart attack, and he came running once he heard the news,
but yet his fame and business he did lose.
(Chorus)
Think of this story, and it makes-you-aware,
connection-of father and son, a love so very dear,
so to with our Rebbe, we are like Bonim, and do what he says,
cause-we love him like a father in every way.
We are like his son, and we love him so,
and love can only grow, his Chossid I want to be,
I-await to see him, when he’ll smile to me,
striding hand in-hand, connected Eternally.
