I Confess lyrics

Oh yes, he has all the answers
He`s gonna set me straight
How can he presume to know what I`ve been through?
He hasn`t got a clue
But how could anyone unless they`ve had a son

As perfect as a child can be,
The best of all the best in me
My brush with immortality, my kid.
For sixteen winters and fifteen springs
I had a son, and still it stings
When i remember all the things we did,
Me and my kid.

Simple things like fishing at the lake,
Tiptoeing out before dawn,
Bobbie would worry if we didn`t hurry,
All the fish would be gone.

We would sit and huddle in the boat
Waiting for something to bite
And I`d watch the sun rise in my own son`s eyes
And the world would fill up with light.
And Bobbie would ask a million questions:
Daddy how many is the biggest number?
Or Daddy, Why do I have a thumb?

(chorus)And I confess, I didn`t always have the answers,
I didn`t always know which way was true,
Nevertheless, I always tried to lead with love
That`s all that any father can do.

As the years went by we had our differences,
But then who doesn`t
Even if the friendship wasn`t all it was before,
We shared a lot and who`d`ve thought
That so much joy could vanish in a blink,
Whoever stops to think.
And in that final moment who knows what went wrong
The questions come to late, and linger far too long

And I confess I don`t always have the answers
I don`t always know which way is true,
Nevertheless I always try to lead with love,
That`s all that any father can do.

And then look, look what do I do!
This boy comes to me,this fatherless child
I scoff at his pain and I send him away.
My daught
