When A Son Loses His Father: Do you know someone who has experienced this type of gut-wrenching loss? Unfortunately this pain may be a sad truth, with some what of a hopeful ending, for many people. This was hard to write, for many reasons. When The Winter Thaws Written by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyright. Hear "When a Son Loses His Father" Now that he's without him what is he working for He had never truly realized His dad drove him to want more With working came acceptance replaced emotions he concedesbr /> and his father unavailable, he kept his schedule filled with deeds, When his father passed away it broke him to the core just learning he and his dad had things in common they stood for His dad had loved unconditionally, despite his character flaws and perhaps was thinking he'd call his son when the winter thaws but winters came and went and neither reached to call yet they truly loved each other despite their voices being awol His imperfect life with his Dad, is now the oddest gift he treasures He's vowed to be a father for his sons to proudly measure He says "I love you" to his kids, and has being saying so for many years then thinks of what he missed with his Dad, and it reduces him to tears Nothing can make that emptiness go he carries the lesson learned Knowing now to speak his love out loud not said to be returned When a son loses his father a part of himself fades into the light as do the words he rarely stated, like, "Dad, nice to hear from you tonight" or picking up the phone to say, "hi dad, did you just hear", are calls he wished he'd made while he wipes away a tear, Now in a prayer he says, "I love you Dad", to the heavens he kneels and pleads and wonders if his fathers knows that his love's so strong, it bleeds "Dad, in case you didn't know it, I love you more than I can say I always tell my kids I love them I learned that the hard way, and in my heart, my father, you shall always stay". When A Son Loses His Father When the Winter Thaws (SONG LYRIC Version) (VERSE ONE) Now that he's without him what is he workin' for He had never truly realized His dad drove him to want more With workin' came acceptance replaced emotions he concedes and his father unavailable, he kept his schedule filled with deeds, When his father passed away it really broke him to the core just learning he and his dad had things in common they stood for (CHORUS) His dad had loved unconditionally, despite his character flaws and perhaps was thinking he'd call his son when the winter thaws but winters came and went and neither reached to call yet they truly loved each other despite their voices being awol His imperfect life with his Dad, is now the oddest gift he treasures He's vowed to be a father for his sons to proudly measure He says "I love you" to his kids, and has being saying so for many years then thinks of what he missed with his Dad, and it reduces him to tears Nothing can make that emptiness go he carries the lesson learned Knowing now to speak his love out loud not said to be returned (VERSE TWO) When a son loses his father a part of himself fades into the light as do the words he rarely stated, like, "Dad, nice to hear from you tonight" or picking up the phone to say, "hi dad, did you just hear", are calls he wished he'd made while he wipes away a tear, Now in a prayer he says, "I love you Dad", to the heavens he kneels and pleads and wonders if his fathers knows that his love's so strong, it bleeds "Dad, in case you didn't know it, I love you more than I can say I always tell my kids I love them I learned that the hard way, and in my heart, my father, you shall always stay". (BRIDGE into Final Chorus) Winters passed into the night like this father and this son too late to change the way it went too ate to change a wrong, he says "Goodbye my father, I love you more than I thought I might and Despite my life's hard journey in my heart there's only light and to have this love in me, you must have done a few things right" Although winters came and went and neither reached to call they truly loved each other despite their voices being awol Nothing can make that emptiness go he carries the lesson learned Knowing now to speak his love out loud not said to be returned "Dad, I'm sure you truly know it, I love you more than I can say because I always tell my kids I love them I learned from our mistakes, and in my heart, my father, you shall always stay".
