He can't remember

The times that he thought

Does my daddy love me?

Probably not

That didn't stop him

From wishing that he did

Didn't keep him from wanting

Or worshipping him



He guesses he saw him

About once a year

He could still feel the way he felt

Standing in tears

Stretching his arms out

As far as they'd go

Whispering dad

I want you to know



[Chorus:]

I love you this much

And i'm waiting on you

To make up your mind

Do you love me too?

How ever long it takes

I'm never giving up no matter what

I love you this much



He grew to hate him for what he had done

'cause what kind of father

Could 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



[Chorus:]

I love you this much

And i'm waiting on you

To make up your mind

Do you love me too?

How ever long it takes

I'm never giving up no matter what

I love you this much



Half way through the service

While the whoir sang a hymn

He looked up a the preacher

And he sat and stared at him



He said

'forgive me father'

When he realized

That he hadn't been unloved

Or alone all his life

His arms were stretched out

As far as they go

Nailed to the cross

For the whole world to know



[Chorus:]

I love you this much

And i'm waiting on you

To make up your mind

Do you love me too?

How ever long it takes

I'm never giving up no matter what

I love you this much
