Daddy

Thinking back to the days when the mood was right

You were silly and smart, stepping into the light

Took me and Amber to the cornfield at night

Tried to give us a scare, but you gave yourself a fright

And I still laugh about the time I played a joke on you

Said I was pregnant just to see what you would do

You picked up the lawnmower, threw it 'cross the yard

Daddy, remembering your laugh catches me off guard

Oh, Daddy, I'm so sorry I never said goodbye

I let a heavy grudge keep me out of your life

I wish I could reach out and give you one last hug

Instead of walking away from all of our love

I never said Happy Birthday, missed every Father's Day too

I'm so sorry I didn't take advantage of my time with you

The silence is heavy now that you're really gone

I should have visited more, I should have picked up the phone

I wasn't there for you during those final days

I let my stubborn heart get in the way

I held onto my anger until it was too late

Now I'm carrying this sorrow, carrying the weight

I thought tomorrow was promised, I thought we'd make it right

Now I'm whispering my apologies into the night

Oh, Daddy, I'm so sorry I never said goodbye

I let a heavy grudge keep me out of your life

I wish I could reach out and give you one last hug

Instead of walking away from all of our love

I never said Happy Birthday, missed every Father's Day too

I'm so sorry I didn't take advantage of my time with you

If I could turn back the clock, I'd drive straight to your door

I'd drop all the distance, I wouldn't keep score

I'd tell you I'm sorry, I'd make up for the years

I'm washing away all the pride with these tears

You were so fun to be around, I just want you to know

I'm letting the apologies out, and letting the anger go

Daddy, I'm so sorry I never said goodbye

I let a heavy grudge keep me out of your life

I wish I could reach out and give you one last hug

Instead of walking away from all of our love

Happy Birthday, Daddy, Happy Father's Day too

I'll spend the rest of my life missing my time with you
