Lyrics:

It was a cold October day
I wish it didn't have to be this way
You told me that you'd be home soon
You never came back
What was I supposed to do
Hey Pop if you hear this song
I did what you told me
And always stayed strong
But I admit I can't keep this up
I try not to be, try not to be
Down on my luck

What's done is done and let's move on
Forgive and forget is what I've been taught
I still love you with all of my heart
I'm not a genius and I'm not all that smart
But one thing I know and it's crystal clear
Is I love you Dad and I want you here
The times change and so do we
I still hope that you remember me

Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna cry
Sometimes I feel like I am all tore up inside
I did what I could and do what I can
I still want to be your 'little man'

I'm not as afraid of the claw anymore
If you come back dad I'll sleep on the floor
You're still my best friend I ever had
Forget the past just be my dad
