I never met your dad You lost him when you were just 10 I know you wish he was here So you could leave him a call or a message But there’s no cell reception in heaven
But if he were here, he would tell you you’re strong And thank you for taking good care of your mom I could say he’s been there all along But that can’t come from anyone else
Someday he’ll tell you himself Someday he’ll tell you himself
If I could just change the past I’d want to give you the chance For you to tell him goodbye It all happened too fast Forced to face the cruel fact
That you couldn’t just say what you wanted to say Before life was so ruthless and ripped him away ‘Cause it’s never been fair that you lived through that pain But you did
And if he were here, he would tell you you’re strong And thank you for taking good care of your mom And say more than I can put in a song Cuz that can’t come from anyone else
Someday he’ll tell you himself Someday he’ll tell you himself
I never met your dad But I feel like I know him through you
