Oh, Father! Oh, Father!
What has happened to you?
Are you weary or lost in sorrow?
I am here, forever true.
Oh, Father! Oh, Father!
Why do you stay so still?
I relive those cherished moments,
Thinking you've left against your will.
Oh, Father! Oh, Father!
Why didn't you send the letter?
I would have replied with love,
And a picture of your sweet granddaughter.
Oh, Father! Oh, Father!
Have you truly left this world?
You could have told me once more—
I'd have cared for your flesh and blood unfurled.
Oh, Father! Oh, Father!
Please forgive me, I plead,
I cannot find peace within
Until you grant a chance to me.
