Father
Oh father why didn't you come when I needed you
In my time of need trust me there were more than a few
I needed you when I felt pain
But from that I only gained
I felt like I was in the dark
But acted as if life was a walk in the park
I want to meet the man I look just like
I want to know the man that was once in my life
I want you to hug me and tell me it's all right
And please never ever leave my sight
I needed you to catch my falling tears
And to show me to have no fears
Father I wish you were here
I want you to be the one to walk me down the isle
I want you at the hospital when I have my first child
I need you right by my side
Don't you understand it's just like you've died
I don't know where you are
I don’t know if you’re far
Just meet me half way
That would make my day
Oh father just know I miss you
And will always love you so
