It was a cold October day

I wish it didn't have to be this way

You told me that you'd be home soon

You never came back

What was I supposed to do

Hey Pop if you hear this song

I did what you told me

And always stayed strong

But I admit I can't keep this up

I try not to be, try not to be

Down on my luck 



What's done is done and let's move on

Forgive and forget is what I've been taught

I still love you with all of my heart

I'm not a genius and I'm not all that smart

But one thing I know and it's crystal clear

Is I love you Dad and I want you here

The times change and so do we

I still hope that you remember me 



Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna cry

Sometimes I feel like I am all tore up inside

I did what I could and do what I can

I still want to be your "little man" 



I'm not as afraid of the claw anymore

If you come back dad I'll sleep on the floor

You're still my best friend I ever had

Forget the past just be my dad
