Assalamualaikum Dan Salam Sejahtera 1Malaysia
Update: Asalnya scroll IG dan tiba-tiba muncul video Tongi masa dia masuk audition American Idol. Masa dia nyanyi lagu ni ayah dia baru meninggal dua bulan sebelum dia masuk audition ni. So masa dia sampaikan lagu ni memang penuh perasaan.
Memang all the judges masa tu Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan berair mata dengar dia nyanyi. Kata Perry yang mulakan sesi sedih bila tanya "And your father?" terus dia jawap passed away dan dan sesi sedih pun bermula.
And nak dijadiakan cerita dia menang American Idol 2023 dan penyanyi asal lagu Monster iaitu James Blunt membuat rakaman lagu ini bersama Tongi seperti video di bawah ini. And ofcoz secara tak langsung teringat pada arwah ayah.
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Oh, well, I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one
So I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness, in your heart
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
