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
As I hold my 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
