These Words Scream

Fatherless son

A fatherless son
Staring at the face of his dad
What happened to the time they had?
Just a minute, wait a second, be right there
How many minutes and seconds faded away?
What happened to, we'll do it another day?
A stranger in each other's eyes
They sit back and wonder where the time flies
He was up talking, walking, and going to school before you knew
What happened to you?
Only young for just an instant, and you're left somewhere in the distance
The moments are precious and the days are few
Don't ever let this happen to you
