He can't remember the times that he thought Does my Daddy love me probably not But that didn't stop him from wishin' he did Didn't keep him from wanting or worshipping him He guesses he saw him about once a year And he can still feel the way he felt standin' in tears Stretchin' his arms out as far as they'd go And whisperin' Daddy I want you to know I love you this much I'm waitin' on you To make up your mind, do you love me too However long it takes I'm never givin' up No matter what I love you this much He grew to hate him for what he'd done What kind of father would do that to his son He said damn you daddy the day that he died The man didn't blink but the little boy cried I love you this much I'm waitin' on you To make up your mind, do you love me too However long it takes I'm never givin' up No matter what I love you this much Halfway through the funeral while the choir sang a hymn He looked up above the preacher and sat and stared at him He said forgive me father when he realized He hadn't been unloved or alone all his life His arms were stretched out as far as they'd go Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know I love you this much I'm waitin' on you To make up your mind, do you love me too However long it takes I'm never givin' up No matter what I love you this much
