Fathers Day with Klaus Meine of Scorpions

One of the best reasons for interviewing the world’s most important rock musicians is that even the most mundane question, such as the one I posed to Scorpions singer/songwriter Klaus Meine about the title to their 1999 album Eye to Eye,  can reveal the most intimate of emotions. So be sure to tell your father that you love him this weekend, whether literally eye to eye, on the telephone in an actual conversation ( skip the e-mail if possible and don’t even think of texting ), or simply in your heart.- Redbeard

Artist: Scorpions
Song Title: Eye To Eye
(This song is dedicated to the memory of Hugo Meine & Heinrich Schenker)

A life begins, another’s over
As another day begins
Life runs full circle getting older
It happens to me
It happens to you
I do believe you’re still around me
You’re still around me all the time
I have no doubt one day in heaven
I will see you again
I’ll see you again, see you again
Break the bread drink the wine
In my heart you’ll live forever
The time to go is never right
When we say goodbye
While we’re here we shouldn’t waste
A day in life to say I love you
It’s now that I’d just wish so much, to see you
Eye to eye
When you came home the war was over
So many years before my time
I was so proud the day you told me
You havn’t hurt anyone
No one
Break the bread drink the wine
In my heart you’ll live forever
The time to go is never right
When we say goodbye
While we’re here we shouldn’t waste
A day in life to say I love you
It’s now that I’d just wish so much to see you
Eye to eye
