I wish

I cried that day my father died,
I cried for the daddy he was to me.
I cried for my mother, my brothers and me.
I long for his warmth, his strength, his great pride,
Oh God, I wept the day he died.

I love him, I miss him, I want him to be,
Back here with my mother, my brothers and me.
I wish I had told him I'd loved him so,
I wish I had said it years ago.
It would have been nice, I wish I had tried.
I cried that day when my father died.
