HE CAN'T REMEMBER

THE TIMES

THAT HE THOUGHT

DOES MY DADDY LOVE ME

PROBABLY NOT

BUT THAT DIDN'T

STOP HIM

FROM WISHING

THAT HE DID

DIDN'T KEEP HIM

FROM WANTING

OR WORSHIPING HIM

HE GUESSES HE SAW HIM

ABOUT ONCE A YEAR

HE CAN STILL FEEL

THE WAY HE FELT

STANDING IN TEARS

STRETCHING

HIS ARMS OUT

AS FAR AS THEY'D GO

AND WHISPERING DADDY

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH

AND I'M WAITING ON YOU

TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND

DO YOU LOVE ME TOO

HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES

I'M NEVER GIVING UP

NO MATTER WHAT

I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH

HE GREW TO HATE HIM

FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE

'CAUSE WHAT KIND

OF FATHER

COULD DO THAT

TO HIS SON

HE SAID

DAMN YOU DADDY

THE DAY THAT HE DIED

THE MAN DIDN'T BLINK

BUT THE LITTLE BOY

CRIED

I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH

AND I'M WAITING ON YOU

TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND

DO YOU LOVE ME TOO

HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES

I'M NEVER GIVING UP

NO MATTER WHAT

I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH

HALF WAY THROUGH

THE SERVICE

WHILE THE CHOIR SANG

A HYMN

HE LOOKED UP ABOVE

THE PREACHER

AND HE SAT

AND STARED AT HIM

HE SAID

FORGIVE ME FATHER

WHEN HE REALIZED

THAT HE HADN'T BEEN

UNLOVED

OR ALONE ALL HIS LIFE

HIS ARMS

WERE STRETCHED OUT

AS FAR AS THEY'D GO

AND NAILED

TO THE CROSS

FOR THE WHOLE WORLD

TO KNOW

I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH

AND I'M WAITING ON YOU

TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND

DO YOU LOVE ME TOO

HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES

I'M NEVER GIVING UP

NO MATTER WHAT

I LOVE YOU

THIS MUCH
