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
