Tears For a Father

What's going on inside of you
Still wonder if my voice is reaching through to you
First day of school today
And I was late
'Cause of the glass by mama's bed
I think she's missing you

Miss angel told us: Write some lines about your families
I finished first
I turned in blank

Don't want to play another day without you
Oh daddy, open up your tired eyes
Want you to watch my games and say you're proud of me
Want you to do whatever fathers do

Today my best friend Tim and me
Stole apples from the Milhouse tree
Please don't tell
I know you won't tell
If she finds out that I've been bad
She gets so sad and when she does
The muddy water helps her smile
A while

But I won't cry, no I wont, I'll be strong
Goodnight dad
I'll turn the radio on
