Song Description

Song about regret in regards to my relationship with my father after his passing

Lyrics

Father, I don't know how to love
I don't think I ever learned
Father I don't know how to love you
Can't mend these bridges that we've burned

He said "All these things I know son
But there's something you must do
You have your own son now
And he depends on you
Give him the love deep in your heart you know is right
And then you may see me, in a different light"

I said "Father, I don't know how to love
I don't think I ever learned
Father I don't know how to love you
Can't mend these bridges that we've burned"

Oh Father how I wish that there could be some other way
For you and I to end our differences and right here with me you could stay
You know as well as I know, this is the way it has to be
Oh Father, I wished it ended differently, Oh Father how I wished it ended differently

I hear the angels coming as they gently flap their wings
You know its only once they've landed that an angel sings
And as we finished speaking and the life went from his eyes
I heard the angels singing as I said my goodbyes

I said "Father, I don't know how to love
I don't think I ever learned
Father I don't know how to love you
Can't mend these bridges that we've burned"
