Amends w/ String Quartet
Lyrics
Dear Dad I'm writing you this letter
I hope you'll understand
Its hard to talk when we're face to face 
There's so much I need to say
It takes two I'm not blaming you 
We just couldn't compromise

Dad I love you even though I didn't show it
You never ever left my heart
I miss you Dad I hope that you believe me
I want to make amends 
I need to make amends

I know I messed up along the way
The miles I put between us
I didn't always make it home for Christmas        
Sometimes I didn't call     
I was wrong I'm so sorry
I guess the silence says it all

Dad I love you even though I didn't show it
You never ever left my heart
I miss you Dad I hope that you believe me
I want to make amends
I need to make amends 

I wish I'd taken time to know you
Then I would know myself
When I see a child I understand 
How lonely you must have felt

Dad I love you even though I didn't show it
You never ever left my heart
I miss you Dad I hope that you believe me
I want to make amends 
I need to make amends
