I Forgive You Dad - Country Cut

Marriage doesn't always last forever
Well, that's what I've been told
But it's hard to lose your hero
When you're only six years old
Didn't understand why you and momma
Went your separate ways
But I hope you need to hear these words
That I need to say
What's done is done, the past is gone and dead
But a future full of life lies just ahead

And I forgive you, dad
I forgive you, dad
For the things you never taught me
And the fun we never had
I forgive you, dad
I forgive you, dad
I didn't have you to run home to
And that's what left me sad
But Jesus healed the pain that I once had
And I forgive you, dad

Well, you missed all the years when I was young
And losing all my teeth
And you were never there to pick me up
When I fell and skinned my knees
You never came to a concert
Or saw me take the field
But I made for you each basket, tackle,
And hit, and every steal
You never saw me act upon the stage
You even missed my graduation day

But I forgive you, dad
I forgive you, dad
For the things you never taught me
And the fun we never had
I forgive you, dad
I forgive you, dad
I didn't have you to run home to
And that's what left me sad
But Jesus healed the pain that I once had
And I forgive you, dad

When Jesus walked he taught that we should forgive as he forgave
And as He hung upon that cross the last request He made

Was please forgive them, Dad
So I forgive you, dad
For the things you never taught me
And the fun we never had
I forgive you, dad
I forgive you, dad
I didn't have you to run home to
And that's what left me sad
But Jesus healed the pain that I once had
Oh, Jesus healed the pain that I once had
And I forgive you, dad
Yes, I forgive you, dad
