Dear Daddy,

Here’s what I should have said to you
Even though it’s much too late
It’s what I should have said but didn’t
I was blinded by false hate

Everybody missed you, when you ran away
And I understand now, why you couldn’t stay
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right

Then when I saw you, after all those years
You said my hair’s too long, and you kissed my ears
I tried to call you Daddy, but it had been too long
The words sound so strange now, that you’re forever gone
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right

And now it’s my turn, I’m gonna be a Dad
That would have made you Grandpa,
and I wonder what you would have said
Would you’ve been happy or would you’ve been sad
Would it have brought back bad memories you had

You tried to pacify us with all your dreams
You had some good ones, some of the best I’ve seen
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
