Lyrics
Hello Dad
Hello Dad, how you've been
Yeah, I know, it's a been bit
The kids are great, you should see them go
I just came by for a quick hello
So lay on down and get some rest
Cause we both know that is what's best
I know your tired and your bodies worn
How about I just sit and talk some more
Cause it always seemed that things get left unsaid
What you meant to me and questions in my head
How I wish I could, just tell you straight
It should be simple but life can complicate
Hello Dad, how you've been
I know your gone so I say it in my head
I think about all the things I'd say
If you were here, just one more day
Cause as I've grown, I've come to see
All the things you sacrificed for me
You sold your smile, so we could soar
How I wish we could talk some more
Cause there were things that were left unsaid
What you meant to me and questions in my head
How I wish I could, just tell you straight
It should be simple but life can complicate
It should be simple but life can complicate
