.How right you were my father
and now i understand,
oh how i wish i listened
when you were close at hand . . .
Those gifts of wisdom that you gave
because you loved me so,
went in one ear and out the other
now to late i know . . .
Now your gone and i'm still here
regretting things i've done,
living with that thought each day
i failed you as a son . . .
Droping out of school
because i thought i knew it all,
now i play the fool
each and every time i fall . . .
Every thing you tried to say
fell upon deaf ears,
suddenly you went away
but never did my tears . . .
Now to late i realize
the me i could have been,
had i only listen to the you
i knew back then . . .
All you wanted was the best
for your little boy,
puttiing me above the rest
i was your pride and joy . . .
Then one day i let you down
and looked the other way,
when i looked back
you wern't around
my heart was in dismay . . .
I saw the face of lonliness
stareing back at me,
now emptiness is living
where my heart use to be . . .
How right you were my father
back then when i was small,
time has shown 'twas you alone
who really knew it all . . .
Ben
