david lessard - Father's Day

Here I am...on Father's Day,
My children, miles and miles away;
Not a card, not a call, I can only hope,
They're thinking of me, (I'm such a dope) .

The divorce was more than separation,
It's like we're in a different nation;
They have their world and I have mine,
Far from me, their city lights, do shine.

It's difficult be their dad,
I can't see them when I want,
and that's so sad;
if I think too long about it,
it drives me mad.

So Happy fathers Day to everyone,
The lucky ones that see their sons,
Those that see their daughters, fair,
You've no lost memories to share.

Happy Father's Day I say to you,
You did the things I didn't do.
Your kids are home and happy too,
Congratulations, everyone of you!
