I was 42 years old that day
They laid my daddy in his grave
I never had a chance to say goodby
Cuz when I got there you were already gone
I prayed to God asked why'd you have to leave
And to this day I've never understood
But you have never left my heart and the wisdom that you handed down to me
(Chorus)
If I could only share another day what I would do or what I would say
I know I would tell you how much you meant to me
I know I could never be the man that you were
But I want to thank you my father
What a teacher you were
And what knowledge you possessed
You taught me all things were possible
And peace and love conquers all
(Chorus)
If I could only share another day what I would do or what I would say
I know I would tell you how much you meant to me
I know I could never be the man that you were
But I want to thank you my father
