Paco

I still see the firelight on the camping ground

Kids and grandkids laughing, such a joyful sound

You could be completely broke, but with us by your side

You looked like the richest man, so full of love and pride

Paco, you had a golden heart, a smile I used to know

But it's been so many years since you let it show

Thirty-six years of marriage, please don't throw it away

We all make our mistakes, but we can find a better way

I believe in fixing things, not leaving them to die

I'd rather hurt you with the truth than lead you with a lie

We were once your precious treasure, a loving family

Paco, please don't give up on you and me

Now your heart is shutting down, you will not talk to me

You've forgotten the devotion that built this family

I won't look the other way or pretend that things are fine

I have to speak the brutal truth to save what's yours and mine

If my words offend you, it just means we need to mend

I can't change you on my own, but I'm with you to the end

Thirty-six years of marriage, please don't throw it away

We all make our mistakes, but we can find a better way

I believe in fixing things, not leaving them to die

I'd rather hurt you with the truth than lead you with a lie

We were once your precious treasure, a loving family

Paco, please don't give up on you and me

I'm not trying to put you down, I want to see you heal

To find the faithful, God-loving man that I know is real

I can't find your reason to change, you have to want it too

I only say the things I see out of my love for you

Thirty-six years of marriage, please don't throw it away

We all make our mistakes, but we can find a better way

I believe in fixing things, not leaving them to die

I'd rather hurt you with the truth than lead you with a lie

We were once your precious treasure, a loving family

Paco, please don't give up on you and me
