He can't remember
|
The times that he thought
|
Does my daddy love me?
|
Probably not
|
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 daddy
|
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:]
|
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
|
|
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
|
Nailed to the cross
|
For the whole world 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
|
