Father I Confess

So frail and so weak

A shell of yourself

I cling to you with all my might

Cause your essence still dwells

I remember you used to be so strong

I would get so scared

When you took a harsh tone

But I still knew you cared

Oh father I do confess

You’ve loved me more than the rest

You tried to do what’s right

Even if it wasn’t always for the best

You made your mistakes

(And so have I)

But it’s not too late

I know what I must do

I must tell you that I love you

I’m still doing fine

though there’s so much going on

You can’t really hear me speak

So I’ll sing you this song

Why must we get old?

It’s such a cruel fate

wish I could turn back the clock

The hour is getting late

What little time we have left

I want you to know

That I always loved you

Though it didn’t show

Oh father I do confess

You’ve loved me more than the rest

You tried to do what’s right

Even if it wasn’t for the best

You made your mistakes

(And so have I)

But it’s not too late

I know what I must do

I must tell you that I love you

So close your eyes

And fall fast asleep

Your days of toil are over

Only good memories must you keep

So close your eyes

And fall fast asleep

Your days of toil are over

Only good memories must you keep

Dream of times when I was young

And in your arms I slept

We sure had our day in the sun

But into the night we have crept

Oh father I do confess

You’ve loved me more than the rest

You tried to do what’s right

Even if it wasn’t for the best

You made your mistakes

(And so have I)

But it’s not too late

I know what I must do

I must tell you that I love you

So frail and so weak

A shell of yourself

I cling to you with all my might

Cause your essence still dwells
