He can't remember the times that he thought   Does my daddy love me? Probably not   But that didn't stop him from wishing that he did   Didn't keep him from wanting or worshiping 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   And whispering daddy, I want you to know      I love you this much and I'm waiting on you   To make up your mind, do you love me too?   However 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 a 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      I love you this much and I'm waiting on you   To make up your mind, do you love me too?   However long it takes I'm never giving up   No matter what, I love you this much      Half way through the service   While the choir sang a hymn   He looked up above the preacher   And he sadly stared at him      And 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'd go   Nailed to the cross, for the whole world to know      I love you this much and I'm waiting on you   To make up your mind, do you love me too?   However long it takes I'm never giving up   No matter what, I love you this much
