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 worshipping him
He guesses he saw him
About once a year
He could still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they`d go
Whispering dad
I want you to know
CHORUS:I love you this much
And I`m waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever 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
CHORUS
Half way through the service
While the choir sang a hymn
He looked up at 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 go
Nailed to the cross
For the whole world to know
CHORUS
