It seems awhile since we spent some time
Just you and me alone
I've waited here hoping you might come
Or talk to me on the phone

Whatever happened between us
Let us set it aside somehow
Oh my son time is running out
We should forgive each other now

What matters most is the bond we have
Between father and son
No one can break the closeness that's there
Unless we wish it be done

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Are the words I heard someone say
But my son this cannot be true
I am alone and missing you

Oh this song that I sing for you
Is all that I possess
It is a gift just for you my son
Wishing health and happiness

I'm sure you know that I love you so
And you mean so much to me
I hope this song will help you to see
Dad enjoys your company

Oh this song that I sing for you
Is a gift from your Dad
It's from my heart please believe me now
Accept it make me feel glad

Thanks for being a good son to me
Wish you well in all you do
If you have time to visit someone
Think of me who's missing you
