It's father's day everbody celebrates but me
I forgot again for the 23 year in a row
But i don't know if i'm bitter or just a bit confused
On days like this, how could you how could you not be

The letter i got
Wrinkled and yellow from years hidden in some cardboard box
Mom didn't want me to see until i was old enough
What advice to give your son you said
Do what think is right, in life you can never go wrong

Chorus:
When adrian james left marie and son
One third of the whole was gone

Did you miss the part about until death do us part well did that
Wedding ring really not mean anything to you
Adrian if i could meet you now would you act anything like a father should
Would you find it hard to call me son

(chorus)

My father, fallible father
Has been replaced, been replaced
By my father, heavenly father
Some times, i wonder if i
Would ever grow to love anyone like him

Sometimes i wonder if i
Would ever grow to look anything like him
