Father Lyrics

A little girl, she seems grown-up, who's only four

She's so confused without a father anymore

And if you listen as she's on her knees to pray

Each night so preciously her broken heart will say:



Chorus:

Where is my father? Has he gone away?

Why can't he always be here to stay?

Where is my father? Does he still care?

I need a father who's always there



He left their family and he headed for the coast

He left a time when they needed him the most

The emptiness is even worse than if he'd died

Caught in confusion you can hear this young girl cry



Repeat Chorus



He's never coming back, she wished that he would

It hurt's cause he doesn't care

But she has another, a Father who's good

A Father who will always be there



You are my Father; never go away

I know you'll always be here to stay

You are my Father; I know you care

I need a Father who's always there



You are my Father who's always there
