Lyrics

I hope you had a great family
Not everyone does
It takes a lot of commitment
To be there 24/7 365.
Constantly giving,
wondering why people do what they do.
When I was just three
my father said he was coming
to pick us up, my sisters and I,
We're crushed he didn't show,
Years past by so fast,
We went to see him,
That didn't matter,
He still went and did
What he wanted to do
He ignored us again.
Ignored us again
Just like when I was 3
He ignored us again
He has us a gift but
We haven't seen it yet.
It's too bad he hasn't seen
How great his kids have been

My dad did this too many times,
During our childhood,
But when I was old enough to drive, I went looking for that real estate sign, It had my name on it, I made the call and it was,
Like as if we just spoke yesterday,
But it has been ten years past,
When we hung up,
I knew that

He would ,
Ignore us again.
Ignore us again
Just like when I was 3
He ignored us again
He has us a gift but
We haven't seen it yet.
It's too bad he hasn't seen
How great his kids have been

Several years later I set up a trip
With two of my kids to see him
It was a three hour drive
And he knew we’d be there by 10.
We stopped to buy peaches.
When we got there, he was gone.
Gone to the pool hall instead of meeting his grandkids.

He ignored us again.
Ignored us again
Just like when I was 3
He ignored us again
He has us a gift but
We haven't seen it yet.
It's too bad he hasn't seen
How great his kids have been
