"Au Revoir, My Friend" lyrics

Run, boy, from the pain
Take your favourite toy
Into the night

Taken from me
A thousand miles away
Into the night

I'll never forgive myself
Should have been there to save your health
What kind of father am I?

Au revoir, my friend
May your childhood never end
I wish that you could drive me round the bend again
Au revoir, my friend

Hugo, it's killing me
I should have been there that night
Leading you into the light

Run you down to surgery
Our boy was under the knife
Something wasn't right

I guess you know when you've had enough
My poor little boy was feeling rough

I'll never forget those days
Walking with you on a beach with your siblings
Safely under your gaze

Hugo, Hugo
Au revoir, my friend
I should have been there at the end

Hugo, Hugo
Au revoir, my friend
May your childhood never end
Au revoir, my friend
