This is one of my favorite songs. My father was not in my life and still is not. But My God had a backup plan.He gave me a grandfather that was always there for me. He died when i was 26 years old. To this day i miss him terribly bad. i still have those wonderful memories of him and the great qualities that he instilled in my life. I am 39yrs old now and i still cherish the time we had together. The last 2yrs of his life i was his caregiver, i just gave back the luv he had given me ALL MY LIFE.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS SONG

[bantyhenrants]

That last part tells my story. My Dad and I had argued the night before he died. When he passed the next morning, I wasn't there. I was newly married and at my home a mile away. I saw the ambulance go by and I remember thinking, "I hope that's not for Daddy", but it was. I never got to tell him I was sorry, and how much I loved him.

So come on say it loud. Say it clear. You never know when it will be your last chance.

my father was a b'stard. when i was 6 my brother died in a road traffic accident (that the whole family was in) leaving me as the only child at that time. instead of embracing me and the family he selfishly turned to alcohol. My father was never there for me....

@weesjaguar66 i agree

[carolan555]

we all take our fathers for granted, but this is a reminder that we should be closer to your father because he won't be there forever.

Fantastic song and a succinct video with that vintage soft rock feel.  The Dick's Sporting Goods closest to my house used to play this non-stop and so does WARM 101.3, a local radio station. Not my type of music but this is definitely one of my favorite tracks of all time. Monumentally sincere lyrics, and delivered so intently. CLASSIC music, especially the chorus, bravo!

When this song is over, turn off your computer and call your dad right now people. Tell him you love him (or get as close to saying that as you can). Doesn't matter if you feel silly. Just do it anyway. And then, next time it'll be easier to say what you want. Just seize the day while you still can!

And yes, I will too. My dad is seriously ill at present and we don't know what's going to happen. I'm not sure if I've told him everything I want to yet, but I'm getting there.

Girls need their fathers too! I didn't have one:(

@teddypoohrenee Thank you for sharing, Brother. A Son NEEDS his Father; most cannot, will not admit it ... Men need Men. My Father & I were estranged for almost 6 years & YOU DON'T GET THAT TIME BACK. Fortunately, God's Grace & my initiative brought us back together before he left this world forever —we had eight MORE years, before he made the Transition Into The Light in his late 80's —and we hadda BLAST. So Grateful.

TELL the Peeps you Love that you LOVE them. SHOW them. don't wait ... :>
