Dad, I want to tell you how much you really mean to me.
Dad, I want to tell you all my thoughts through this melody.
I miss you, and I wanted you to know that I love you.
I'm thankful for a Dad that really cares.

--

I've thought about the past and the times that you were there,
The golden memories and the burdens that we shared;
The times that you have held me in your arms and said, "I love you";
The patience that God has given you for your child.

------

I'm sorry for the times when I thought I knew it all,
The times I disobeyed, when I didn't heed your call
The voice of wisdom, the pathway that you saw that I was taking;
Yet when I fell you helped me know that I wasn't forsaken.

-

You taught me, and you fed me, and you helped me everyday.
You gave me precious Jesus, and you taught me how to pray.
You read the Word that thrilled my heart-a babe that was hungry;
Been a faithful father to his son, thank God that you loved me.

Dad, I want to tell you how much you really mean to me.
Dad, I want to tell you all my thoughts through this melody.
I miss you, and I wanted you to know that I love you.
I'm thankful for a Dad that really cares for me.

Oh...Dad, I love you.
I thank God that you cared,
And I want you to know, Dad, I love you, I really do.
