Father - AVB

A little girl, she seems grown-up, who’s only four

She’s so confused without a father anymore

And if you listen as she’s on her knees to pray

Each night so preciously her broken heart will say…

Where is my father?

(Where is my father?) Has he gone away?

(Has he gone away?)

Why can’t he always be here to stay?

(Why can’t he always be here to stay?)

Where is my father?

(Where is my father?) Does he still care?

(Does he still

care?)

I need a father who’s always there (I need a father there)

He left their family and he headed for the coast

He left a time when they needed him the most

The emptiness is even worse than if he’d died

Caught in confusion you can still hear this young girl cry

Where is my father?

(Where is my father?) Has he gone away?

(Has he gone away?)

Why can’t he always be here to stay?

(Why can’t he always be here to stay?)

Where is my father?

(Where is my father?) Does he still care?

(Does he still

care?)

I need a father who’s always there (I need a father there)

He’s never coming back, she wished that he would

It hurt’s cause he doesn’t care (he doesn’t care)

But she has another, a Father who’s good

A Father who will always be there

You are my Father (You are my Father);

never go away (never ever go away)

I know you’ll always (I know you’ll always) be here to stay (be here to stay)

You are my Father (You are my Father);

I know you care (and I know you care)

I need a Father (I need a Father) who’s always there (who's always there)

you are my father (you are my father)

who’s always there (always there, always there)

God You are a father who never goes away, you are a father who’s always there

to love and to care…
