(Verse 1)
Life is all too short it seems
Passes by us like a dream
All too soon it slips away
I'm glad I took the time to say

(Chorus)
Father I love you
Father I need you
I long to see you
Once again

Father, I love you
Father, I need you
I long to see you
Once again

(Verse 2)
On this earth we live and grow
But this is not the end we know
Beyond this life there is a home
Beyond the heartache we have known

(Repeat Chorus)
Father I love you
Father I need you
I long to see you
Once again

Father I love you
Father I need you
I long to see you
Once again

(Bridge)
Wonderful, Comforting
Are my memories of you
Colorful, glorious
Are the dreams you gave me

(Repeat Chorus)
Father I love you
Father I need you
I long to see you
Once again

Father I love you
Father I need you
I long to see you
Once again

I feel like I have found treasure, the song summarizes a lot of this life from day we are born to the day we complete our life.
I felt like closing my eyes and see my self on peaceful transfer bed (death) and meeting my father and just telling him ..... father .... I love you.... thank you so much .....and telling my children after me ..... the father has been so kind and good .... hold him and live him

The lyrics touches the deepest of my heart. Praise God for giving us our earthly father who loved us and cared us since our birth.
