Go Back and Call You Daddy
I don't know
What it is that I've done wrong
When I was little
You and I could get along
But as I've grown it only seems
What we once had's a memory
You're the man that I still call my dad
But I'm missing so much more
I wish I could go back and call you daddy
To the days when I
Was always by your side
I'd look up to you the man who was my hero
To feel the strength of love
That once was
And see it in your eyes
You always write
I love you in my cards
You say you're proud of me and where I've gone
You know that I'll go far
But once in a while what would it hurt
To hear your mouth say those words
Instead we argue bout what I've done
And how I could have done it right
I wish I could go back and call you daddy
To the days when I
Was always by your side
I'd look up to you the man who was my hero
To feel the strength of love
That once was
And see it in your eyes
I've learned lessons
But not the kind that I had hoped
And now I'm thankful to the good Lord
For a son I call my own
And you can bet that I will let him know
I won't pass down our shadow
You know the one that helped build the walls
And cause us so much strife
I wish I could go back and call you daddy
Back to the days of old
When I stood by your side
To find out exactly when it happened
When did you set me free
To let me grieve
And finally said goodbye
I still love you like no other dad
I wish somehow we both could try
