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 from wanting
Or worshiping him

He guesses he saw him
About once a year
He can still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they 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 father
Would 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

Halfway through the service
While the choir sang a hymm
He looked above the preacher
And he sat and 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 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
