Father of mine,
what you have done we can't undo.
Look at what you have
put me through.
I often get angry,
I often get sad.
When I think of you,
my heart grows mad.
You're not going to be there
the day I get married.
Neither the day me
first child is born.
'Till death do us part,
to my mother you sworn.
You changed your mind,
and our hearts are now torn.
How am I to trust my husband
that he won't do the same?
I saw with my own eyes,
you must feel ashamed.
You abandoned your children,
who are two beautiful young women.
You weren't here to scare away
the boys I brought home.
To give them the evil eye,
to talk to them in that tone.
My sister had more time with you,
my time was short.
Fifth grade I wasn't even through.
Theres so much you misses.
The night I went to homecoming,
tears would have come to your eyes.
As tough as you might seem,
I looked beautiful that night,
I wish you could have seen.
Do you think about us?
Do we ever cross your mind?
Do you wonder what it would be like today,
if you hadn't changed your mind?
You have destroyed this relationship.
I tried to keep in touch,
you turned your cheek.
For three years, maybe more,
all I have seen is your back.
This makes my heart weep.
Father of mine,
oh do I miss you!
I can't explain what
my hearts been through.
