Where Were You

Where were you when I needed you, all those years ago?

You were never there to lend a hand or help me as I go

Were you ever proud of me, you've never said the words

You never said you loved me, I guess that's what really hurts

I know that you were young, but is that an excuse?

I can't say I ever called you dad, how's that feel to you?

Look what you have missed out on, my entire life

You've never seen your granddaughter, barely know my wife

This year I'll be thirty, you know not who I am

All the pent up feelings, I no longer give a damn

I will be the father, that I never had

Give them all the love I can, they will call me Dad!

While you are living your life, I am living mine

Your's must be busy, because you never make the time

When have you ever called me, sent a card or said hello?

Where were you when I needed you, all those years ago
