My fathers name was Joseph   

He was a carpentar by trade

As a kid all I ever wanted

Was something he could never make

Driving home its a cold December

First time I'd been back in years

Knowing dad ain't going to be there

Looking out the window thru my tears

Wishing to God that I could see him

And say I love you one more time
Am7        G/B           C9
