Ciao Papa - Gregory Mann

Ciao papa mio papa

Time has come to say farewell

For how long will I go

Is it far

No one knows no one can tell

If I am gone for a long long time

I'll pack away a fine piece of shine

The sounds of birds chirping with bells

Drawings of plums two bags of shells

The smell of bread a drop of wine

Your memory father of mine

Farewell my papa

Ciao papa mio papa

Time has come to say farewell

I am ready to go going far

Now I know it will be swell

I shall be gone for a long long time

Shall be picking many peaks to climb

Maybe I'll see a camel cry

Dangerous pirates with a black eye

Rain or shine I'll keep in mind

Your memory father of mine

Farewell my papa

And as I gamble on my long long climb

I hold on tight to our best of times

Eyes in the rain I tried to hide

Tears of a boy who shouldn't cry

Forevermore I'll keep in mind

Your memory father of mine

Farewell my papa
