My Father's Face
My Father’s Face
I see my father’s face
And I can see a trace,
Of sorrow and regret
Of wishing never to forget
I see my father’s face
And I can see a place,
Where there was happiness and joy
When he was just a boy
I see my father’s face
And I see it in a daze,
Not remembering where he’s been
Or what he’s ever seen
I see my father’s face
And much to my amaze,
I see the lines upon his forehead
And the white hair on his head
I see my father’s face
And want to hold him in my embrace,
Plant a kiss and wish this day
That I could make pain go away
