On the day I was born, how my father was torn, with emotion that turned his hair gray.I was the joy of his life, but I brought him great strife, cause God called my mother that day.As the years passed away, I tried hard to repay, for the heartaches I caused dad to bear.I am so all alone, with no chance to atone, cause dad has joined mother up there.Oh daddy forgive, please daddy forgive.For the suffering, the sorrow and pain, oh you were the best dad, that a boy ever had, now you've gone to join mother again.As they took you away, in your casket of gray, to the hearse I rode.I saw in your face, the dress that was waiting outside.I wanted to say that I tried to repay, but I only could stand there and cry.When your body was laid, in the grave that was made, so down by the tears I had shed.I prayed to God up above, in prayer I prayed.return for your love, he had called me to him instead. Oh, Daddy, forgive, please Daddy, forgivefor the suffering, the sorrow, and pain. And I hope and I pray that on some day I mayjoin my mother and daddy again.
