    Story Behind the Song
    My dad is dying and has disowned his kids at age 81. He was a VA WW2 vet who abuses his prescription drugs.
    Yet, this song could be about anyone's Dad missing in action through childhood.

    Lyrics
    Oh, so strong, so tall, so self-assured
    Tiny girl, so small so insecure
    Long ago I worshipped every word
    Now I miss the man you never were
    the man you never....
    Businessman and Mama's beau so true
    Tiny pills of yellow, green and blue
    Took your soul as do the demon's cure
    How I miss the man you never were
    the man you never were......
    Is it worth the loss?
    Can you bear the cost?
    Can you write me off 'cause I was never who you wanted me to be?
    Never there when you were there for me...
    I never thought I'd ever live to see you turn away....
    When I pray, I sometimes say your name
    Wonder if we'll ever meet again
    As you fade into the autumn blur
    I will miss the man you never were
    the man you never were
    the man you never were
