Regret

I never seen my father cry

Until the day his mama died

He just sat there beside her bed

Holding her hand and bowing his head

He told her he was sorry, he never should have left

And there were tears as his heart confessed

I regret every word I never said to you

I regret all the time I never spent with you

I regret everything I didn't do

And I wish I could go back and fix everything

I regret

A few weeks later my telephone rang

It was him, I could tell his heart had been breaking again

He said, "Son, there's something you need to know

Something I should've told you a long, long time ago

I know I should've been there, I should've been a better man

And it might be too late, but I hope you understand."

I regret every word I never said to you

I regret all the time I never spent with you

I regret everything I didn't do

And I wish I could go back and fix everything

I regret

I said, "Dad, we still have a whole lot of love left to give

And God willing, a whole lot of life left to live

So why don't we both just try to forgive and start over?"

No regrets
