Lyrics
Dad is That You
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
He left home out of high school,
running with the wrong kind of crowd
in and out of trouble,
late night fights getting loud
They put together a plan,
he was gonna drive the run away van
looking through the bars, he made his one call
Son don’t tell me it’s true, Dad is that you?
(Chorus)
Dad is that you? I’ve been so lost without you
Dad is that you? All the things you taught me were true
I love you, Dad is that you?
(Verse 2)
They were married, for a couple of years
they tried but it just wouldn’t work
six weeks later the papers were signed,
uncontested divorce,
Nine years later in a shopping mall,
he saw her from across the room,
she said there’s someone who’s been dying to meet you
he heard Dad, Dad is that you?
(Chorus)
Dad is that you? I’ve been so lost without you
Dad is that you? Momma’s told me so much about you
I love you, Dad is that you?
(Verse 3)
Hand in hand with angels,
he found himself late into the night,
after years of misunderstanding,
he was walking towards the light,
when someone touched his shoulder,
a shiver of love running through,
every part of his body was trembling,
he said Dad, Dad is that you?
(Chorus)
Dad is that you? I’ve been so lost without you
Dad is that you? I can’t imagine what I put you through, I love you
Dad is that you? Oh Dad, Dad is that you?
