Story Behind the Song
This Song is the result of 30 years of dealing with my Father leaving, and I've never understood why he's never made an attempt to be there for me since. I guess the song explains itself, but i was very relieved to get past this, and go on with my life. Songs can help so very much, especially in situations such as this. R & B Group "Atlantic Starr" Recorded this song on their 1999 C.D. "Legacy" I'm Still here waiting "DAD"...
Lyrics
"DAD"
VERSE 1:
ALL THESE YEARS NOW, I'VE NEVER KNOWN.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. WHY YOU JUST UP AND WENT AWAY ?
I GUESS YOU NEEDED TIME, TO THINK THINGS OVER.
BUT I ALWAYS HOPED YOU COME BACK HOME, SOMEDAY.
I REALIZE THAT LIFE, HAD LEFT YOU COLD. BUT IT'S BEEN TWENTY YEARS NOW, AND YOU STILL HAVENT COME HOME.
CHORUS:
AND I REMEMBER WHEN, YOU TOOK MY HAND. AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY. AND HELPED ME DRY MY TEARS WHEN I WAS SAD.
AND I'VE OFTEN WONDERED WHAT IT WAS, THAT I DONE TOO YOU. THAT MADE YOU GIVE UP EVERYTHING WE HAD.
YOU KNOW I'M STILL HERE WAITING FOR YOU DAD.
VERSE 2:
WHEN I WAS YOUNG YOU ALWAYS SAID, IF I EVER NEEDED.
SOMEONE JUST TO TALK TOO, YOU'D BE THERE.
BUT NOW AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I HAVE TO WONDER.
WHY YOU'VE NEVER TOLD ME, HOW MUCH YOU CARE.
I KNOW YOU'VE HAD YOUR OWN LIFE, TO THINK OF.
BUT I JUST WISH I COULD HAVE SHARED, A LITTLE OF YOUR LOVE.
CHORUS:
TAG: I'VE NEVER GIVEN UP ON YOU.....DAD.
