Paul Robert Glaser - Never Got The Chance

My father passed away, it doesn't seem that long ago
At the time I thought I was prepared for that worst-case scenario
But when I got the call
It wasn't quite so cut and dried
I just fell down on my knees and I cried

It's too late now to show you that I love you
And it's too late now for best laid plans
Daddy, there's so much that I wanted to tell you
But I never got the chance

My mother slipped away, long before the Lord took her home
And it's not like I didn't know that day was gonna come
But when I got the news
I felt so empty inside
I just sat there on the floor and I cried

It's too late now to show you that I love you
And it's too late now to hold your hands
Mama, there's so much that I wanted to tell you
But I never got the chance

My excuses they're not worth a dime
I'm no victim of circumstance
But now I'm wishing I'd taken the time
Cause there ain't no second chance

It's too late now to show you that I love you
And it's too late now for best laid plans
Mama and Daddy, there's so much I needed to tell you
But I never got the chance

Mmm mmm
Never got the chance
