I Love You This Much

I Love You This Much - Ameritz Tribute Standards

He can't remember the times that he thought

Does my Daddy love me probably not

But that didn't stop him from wishin' he did

Didn't keep him from wanting or worshipping him

He guesses he saw him about once a year

And he can still feel the way he felt standin' in tears

Stretchin' his arms out as far as they'd go

And whisperin' Daddy I want you to know

I love you this much

I'm waitin' on you

To make up your mind do you love me too

However long it takes I'm never givin' up

No matter what I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he'd done

Cause what kind of father would do that to his son

He said damn you daddy the day that he died

The man didn't blink but the little boy cried

I love you this much

I'm waitin' on you

To make up your mind do you love me too

However long it takes I'm never givin' up

No matter what I love you this much

Halfway through the funeral while the choir sang a hymn

He looked up above the preacher and sat and stared at him

He said forgive me father when he realized

He hadn't been unloved or alone all his life

His arms were stretched out as far as they'd go

Nailed to the cross for the whole world to know

I love you this much

I'm waitin' on you

To make up your mind do you love me too

However long it takes I'm never givin' up

No matter what I love you this much
