From A Father To His Son Poem by Matthew Buck

From A Father To His Son



It's been another sleepless night,
So I decided I would write……

Behind every one of my smiles, there is 1,000 tears,
Tears from missing you, and wishing you were here.
I wish I could right the wrongs I've made throughout the years.
I want you to know that I love you, as I fight back all these tears.

Chorus
You're on my mind, you're in my dreams,
Life isn't always as it seems.
I've made you cry, I've made you sad,
I haven't been a real good dad.
You're on my heart you're in my prayers,
Please don't think that I don't care.
I've made mistakes, I've done your wrong,
So I'm here to say I'm sorry in this song.

V2
As time passes on throughout the night,
I never really sleep, praying that you're alright.
Praying you're in my arms, and I get to hug you tight.
I want you to know you're not the reason your mom and I would fight.

Chorus
You're on my mind, you're in my dreams,
Life isn't always as it seems.
I've made you cry, I've made you sad,
I haven't been a real good dad.
You're on my heart you're in my prayers,
Please don't think that I don't care.
I've made mistakes, I've done your wrong,
So I'm here to say I'm sorry in this song.

V3
I've had to watch you grow up from afar,
Always wondering how you are.
And I think about you every time I see a punch-bug car.
I want you to know that I miss you as I think about you from afar.

Chorus
You're on my mind, you're in my dreams,
Life isn't always as it seems.
I've made you cry, I've made you sad,
I haven't been a real good dad.
You're on my heart you're in my prayers,
Please don't think that I don't care.
I've made mistakes, I've done your wrong,
So I'm here to say I'm sorry in this song.

Bridge
It's time to swallow my pride,
Putting all my fears a side.
I'm your dad and you're my son,
Excuses? I have none.

Chorus
You're on my mind, you're in my dreams,
Life isn't always as it seems.
I've made you cry, I've made you sad,
I haven't been a real good dad.
You're on my heart you're in my prayers,
Please don't think that I don't care.
I've made mistakes, I've done your wrong,
So I'm here to say I'm sorry in this song.
