Story behind the song
Moved around a lot growing up. Was able to track down and meet my dad for the first time when I was 23.
Lyrics
I wonder what it would've been like if you had been, a part of my life Did you ever think of me or was I a figment of your memory You said my mother was to blame her moving away, kept us apart Why didn’t you write, why didn’t you call would it have been so hard Father where were you for the first step I took Father where were you when I spoke my first word On the first day of school with a ribbon in my hair Oh father, I wish you were there You said you had a new family Still you could've kept, in touch with me when there’s a will, there’s a way I guess your will was to stay away I started to search for you as soon as I, became of age when I had you on the phone I couldn’t think, of what to say Father where were you when I walked down the aisle Father where were you when I held my son the first time so much you have missed, where do I begin Oh father, how have you been Though we were strangers, when we first met The bond I felt for you, can never be broken With a smile upon your face and your arms opened wide Your loving embrace welcomed me into your life What I lost in those years gone by you’ve made up to me, a thousand times when I needed rescuing you dropped everything, to be by my side Every time I hear your voice see your face, hold your hand I recognize that I am blessed To call you my dad Father you’re here for me with your laughter and charm Father you’re here for me to hold me in your arms I can count on you and you can count on me too oh Father, I love you oh Father, I love you
