To Have My Dad - December 2006

I’ve waited a long time To get this feeling back The past is now behind us Now we’re picking up the slack I admit I wasn’t perfect And neither of us tried Every excuse from the book And we both know we lied I’m looking at the last few months Now I know what I’ve missed I have a dad who really cares And dries tears with hug and kiss It only took a break-up, A marriage, operation To help us realize ourselves And value our relation I’m glad I got to support you Through your painful surgery I was happy to come and visit And pick apples from that tree I’m glad you walked me down the aisle And blessed us on that day It should have always been like this I hope it doesn’t go away I wish we’d started sooner But we were immature Blinded by our stubbornness But now our hearts are pure
