Regret

(앨범: Revival - 2017)

I've 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 shoulda 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"

Few weeks later my telephone rings
It was him, I could tell his heart been breaking again
He said, "Son, there's something you need to know
Something I should've told ya a long long time ago
I know I shoulda been there
I should've been a better man
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
Lotta life left to live
So why don't we both just try to forgive
And start over"

No regrets
