Too Many Times

(album: Black - 1987)

There've been too many times
When I never said what was on my mind.
How was I to know you'd go so soon?
Your God would come to take you home
Leaving me stumbling over
Stupid lines on a shabby page.
Daddy, sometimes I'm filled with rage.
I lost the only thing that was really mine.
So daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
And I know just what you'd say
Is this really the time and place
To say all of those things that we never said?
There've been too many times
When my head was filled with stupid pride.
I hope you're laughing now
That all these words have been set aside.
Oh daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
And I know just what you'd say
Is this really the time and place
To say all of those things that we never said?

It seems so long since I saw you,
And yet it seems like yesterday.
There's no need to make amends
For I look on us as friends.
Oh daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
Oh daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
Still make you laugh?
There've been too many times.
There've been too many times.
There've been too many times.
There've been too many times...
