Father by Robert Ellis Lyrics

Quote from the song “Father” by Robert Ellis

Well, hello, it's been such a long day
I got your address from a cousin who said you might live here
I don't know exactly why I'm writing
I guess I want you to know that I still think about you after all these years

[Verse 1]

Well, hello, it's been such a long day
I got your address from a cousin who said you might live here
I don't know exactly why I'm writing
I guess I want you to know that I still think about you after all these years

[Chorus]

And I have got so many questions
Some are rather serious and others just for fun
I just want you to listen
And then I'll leave it up to you what happens when I'm done
I want a father, but I'll settle for a friend

[Verse 2]

What was my mother like way back when you first met her?
Were you in love? And if so, where did it all go wrong?
Do you remember any Christmases together?
Did you dance around the living room when she played your favorite song?
Well, I just saw a picture
You were holding up a fishing pole, it was just out of my reach
And who's that man in the pickup?
Do you remember any details from that day spent on the beach?
Do you bite your lip whenever you are thinking?
Somebody told me once I did that and it reminded them of you
Lately it's been hard to keep from drinking
Well, I hear it runs in the family and I wonder if it's true

[Chorus]

Well, I have got so many questions
Did you think that I'd be better off not having you around?
Well, I just wanna know where I come from
And why you had to drive away and never turn around
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
I just wanna forgive you
Well, I'm sure you had your reasons for leaving me behind
Well, tell me and I'll believe you
I just wanna get to know you while we still have time
I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
