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
HALFWAY 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
