I Love You This Much

I Love You This Much - Jimmy Wayne

He can't remember

The times that he thought

Does my daddy love me

Probably not

That didn't stop him

From wishing that he did

Didn't keep him from wanting

Or worshipping him

He guesses he saw him

About once a year

He could still feel the way he felt

Standing in tears

Stretching his arms out

As far as they'd go

Whispering dad

I want you to know

I love you this much

And I'm waiting on you

To make up your mind

Do you love me too

However long it takes

I'm never giving up

No matter what

I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he had done

'Cause what kind of father

Could do that to his son

He said d**n you daddy

The day that he died

The man didn't blink

But the little boy cried

I love you this much

And I'm waiting on you

To make up your mind

Do you love me too

However long it takes

I'm never giving up

No matter what

I love you this much

Half way through the service

While the choir sang the hymn

He looked up above the preacher

And he sat and stared at him

He said

Forgive me father

When he realized

That he hadn't been unloved

Or alone all his life

His arms were stretched out

As far as they go

Nailed to the cross

For the whole world to know

I love you this much

And I'm waiting on you

To make up your mind

Do you love me too

However long it takes

I'm never giving up

No matter what

I love you this much
