Snow Patrol - Soon Lyrics

Snow Patrol Lyrics

"Soon"

Soon you'll not remember anything
But then someday neither will I
Tomorrow though is nothing to fear
Because father it's always today

Life won't flash before your eyes
Instead will fall away then melt like snow
The secret storms of your wild youth
Now just gentle breezes, warm and faint

Soon you'll not remember anything
But then someday neither will I
Tomorrow though is nothing to fear
Because father it's always today

I can ride on your coattails again
Like I always did as a little boy
We are standing on the home shores now
My whole hand hanging onto your thumb

There's a place in the palace of you
Where we can always be standing like that
And we can hide in there, just as we were then
You're just my father and I am just your son
Your son
Your son
Soon

Gary Lightbody wrote this song about his father who has Alzheimer's disease.

The creation of this song was explained by Gary Lightbody when he said about his father, "I know that he loves me, but you don't hear those words. It's a very Irish kind of thing. I was trying to write a song about that, but it just seemed mean. And then I started writing a poem that kind of cleared that out. The first stanza just came out really easily: 'Soon you'll not remember anything / But someday neither will I', and it seemed to just connect the both of us."

The music video features Jack and Gary Lightbody watching old home movies together. Gary said, "Filming it with him was one of the best days I ever spent with my dad, and I'm so grateful he got to share in the day and spend some time in my world. It meant everything to me."
