I Love You This Much

He can't remember
 The times that he thought
 Does my daddy love me?
 Probably not
 That didn't stop him
 From wishing that he did
 Didn't keep him from wanting
 Or worshipping him
 He guesses he saw him
 About once a year
 He could still feel the way he felt
 Standing in tears
 Stretching his arms out
 As far as they'd go
 Whispering dad
 I want you to know
 CHORUS:
 I love you this much
 And I'm waiting on you
 To make up your mind
 Do you love me too?
 How ever long it takes
 I'm never giving up
 No matter what,
 I love you this much

 He grew to hate him for what he had done
 'Cause what kind of father
 Could do that to his son?
 He said 'damn you daddy'
 The day that he died
 The man didn't blink
 But the little boy cried
 CHORUS
 ♪
 Half way through the service
 While the choir sang the hymn
 He looked up above the preacher
 And he sat and stared at him
 He said
 'Forgive me father'
 When he realized
 That he hadn't been unloved
 Or alone all his life
 His arms were stretched out
 As far as they go
 Nailed to the cross
 For the whole world to know
 CHORUS
