Marilyn Oakley - Heavens Window Pane

Dad and I could never agree on anything
Leaving wounds for angry words to sting
So at sixteen I packed and hit the road
Anywhere was better than living at home

Tens years later, here I am at his side
For a bad heart was taking his life
Lost are years we'll never see again
But I forgive my dad, 'cause I love him

When I had looked into daddy's eyes
Tears fell like rain
Didn't want to say goodbye
Have him looking down from
Heavens window pane
Sorry we had to part
Dad, please forgive my heart
Never wanted it this way
Not have him looking down
From heavens window pane

The link between our hearts broken long ago
Father, daughter words spoken, echo in my soul
Ten years worth of days, forever gone
Hoping to make it up before he moved on

I remember when I was at his side
When a bad heart was taking his life
Lost are those years we'll never see again
But I forgive my dad, cause I miss him

When I had looked into daddy's eyes
Tears fell like rain
Didn't want to say goodbye
Have him looking down from
Heavens window pane
Sorry we had to part
Dad, please forgive my heart
Never wanted it this way
Not have him looking down
From heavens window pane

Daddy, my heart's missing you
I'm married now, with a child of my own
He has asked about Grandpa
And I told him about your new home

When I had looked into daddy's eyes
Tears fell like rain
Didn't want to say goodbye
Have him looking down from
Heavens window pane
Sorry we had to part
Dad, please forgive my heart
Never wanted it this way
Not have him looking down
From heavens window pane
