Dad - Sing-Along

"Dad"
Is that a word that I can use for you?
It's been a while since we had news from you
Since your picture left the frame

Dad
It's been forever since I heard from you
...I mean forever since I heard from you
I didn't even know you knew my name

Dad
You spelt it wrong but that's all right with me
I never dreamed that you would write to me
And then this invite just appears

Dad
I can't believe I'm in New York with you
This time tomorrow I can talk with you!
How can I catch you up on all these years?

I got mostly bs and cs in my gcses
I got measles, mumps and chickenpox and coeliac disease
I slept with Alice Matthews who was in the year above
(And for several weeks at least I was sure I was in love)

Dad
Have I held a candle high for you?
Have I waited all my life for you?
Should I feel the way I feel

And Mum
She never had a bitter word for you
All my life I've heard of you
Can it be that you're alive and real?

Do you still have all your hair? Are you still a millionaire?
Do you live in an apartment fifty stories in the air?
Send a chauffeur-driven Bentley; lets go meet your future wife!
I don't want to sound too keen
But where have you been
All my life?

Maybe I can spend the day with you
While the afternoon away with you
At the wedding I could sit with you?
'chew the fat' and 'shoot the shit' with you?

Maybe we could kick a ball together?
Reminisce about it all together?
Catch a game and grab a beer together
Hug it out and shed a tear together

Watching Terminator 2 together
Eating chicken Vindaloo together
Singing carols round the tree together
Watching Terminator 3 together

Grilling burgers till they're burnt together
Sharing everything we've learnt together
Think of all the time we've earnt together
After all the time we weren't together

Dad, I can't imagine what I'll say to you
I've got a million things to say to you
Can I take a breath and say to you
..."Dad"?
