Laura Mvula - Father, Father Lyrics






Father, father, let me love you
Saw you wandering in my dream last night singing
Wonder, wonder what you might do
You can't simply hide our dream in the blue

Don't try to fight; don't let me go
You've gone too far from what I know
I lost my heart in the dark with you
Father, father, why you let me go
Father, please don't let me go

Brother, brother, let me love you
Whisper all your deepest fears
You can trust me
And when it's over we can begin
Finally to make amends
Try to save us

Don't try to fight; don't let me go
You've gone too far from what I know
I lost my heart in the dark with you
Father, father, why you let me go
Father, please don't let me go

Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me love you

Don't try to fight; don't let me go
You've gone too far from what I know
I lost my heart in the dark with you
Father, father, why you let me go
Father, please don't let me go

  16. F.... C....

    This make me sad because most people relate with this cause they don't want to or have lost their fathers. I relate to this because I never got to have a relationship with my father. I mean I tried when I was younger but he was always very cool and more interested in the bottle. 😞

  17. M.... H....

    Is she saying their father is dead, but some rift in the relationship with her brother can be healed? Because in my case my brothers have thrown me away. Parents are gone, so finally treat the eldest sister like dirt. Anyway, I’ve stopped reaching out, to avoid the circus they think I belong in. Or rather, the insane asylum. With apologies to anyone who has been a part of either. Thank you all, and thank you Nina Simone and Laura Mvula.

    M.... H....

    Thanks for understanding.

    M.... H....

    Megan Hughes omg! I wish we could talk, because I relate so much. Your story is literally my story.

  18. M.... H....

    Brother, brother is the one that gets me. I don’t know why it’s included here....does anyone?

  22. w.... B....

    Room 104 brought me here

  23. B.... C....

    This is by far the most heartfelt rendition of this hymn that Ms. Mvula has done. There are several, so I have to listen to more than one before I can find this one. Humble, but not beseeching, earnest and loving, simply wanting to know, "Why you let me go"? Then as an afterthought, "Please, don't let me go". It is everybody's song.

  24. R.... M....

    What a great season finale of Room 104 that was

    Father, father, let me love you
    Saw you wandering in my dream last night singing
    Wonder, wonder what you might do
    You can't simply hide our dream in the blue

    Don't try to fight; don't let me go
    You've gone too far from what I know
    I lost my heart in the dark with you
    Father, father, why you let me go
    Father, please don't let me go

    Brother, brother, let me love you
    Whisper all your deepest fears
    You can trust me
    And when it's over we can begin
    Finally to make amends
    Try to save us

    Don't try to fight; don't let me go
    You've gone too far from what I know
    I lost my heart in the dark with you
    Father, father, why you let me go
    Father, please don't let me go

    Let me love you
    Let me love you
    Let me love you
    Let me love you

    Don't try to fight; don't let me go

    I lost my heart in the dark with you
    Father, father, why you let me go
    Father, please don't let me go

  26. C.... .....

    this song says so much about sorrow and forgiveness and your voice literally is perfect, I was so angry at my dad for a very long time and this song just opened me up like a book and i just can't stop crying this song is amazing

  27. D.... B....

    just heard about this song last night. 03-24-2017 Alvin Ailey performance in Chicago.. had to have it in rotation after l heard ..

    D.... B....

    Same!!! Saw Alvin Ailey performance 06-17-2017 in New York at Lincoln Center. All I listen to, and the dance is all I can think about when I listen to it.

    D.... B....

  31. F.... ....

    thank you so much for this upload! I'd been searching for the studio version ever since the full album got taken off youtube! Shivers. Tears.

  32. R.... ....

    This song is me and father relationship. So true!

  38. P.... T....

    She sounds so much like the late great Nina Simone. It's crazy kkk.

  39. s.... m....

    beautiful

  40. M.... ....

    dont cry dont cry dont cry dont cry god dammit.. My father was so supportive of us. But in my teens I drifted away from him. When I was 17 he passed away due to Cancer. This song really cuts so deep because of all the regrets of not being there

    M.... ....

    don't worry he understands

    M.... ....

    He knew you loved him, even when you drifted apart

    M.... ....

    Marc-O-Matic

    M.... ....

    I'm sorry you lost your dad.
    I wish someone could reach my daughter before I die. I was just diagnosed wIth "Man Cancer". You remind me of her.
    Three things is all I want before I go.

    1. To be hugged (freely) from her.
    2. To be called Dad(dy).
    3. To hear her say I love you Dad.

    This will never transpire. I would have better odds from a total stranger.

  41. R.... M....

    Awesome!! you're amazing :)

  42. P.... S....

    Love her voice with this song ~
