My Dad Has Never Told Me He Loves Me(CPlatt) My dad has never told me he loves me
but he used to help me with my maths homework
and used to play football with me on the park.

My dad has never told me he loves me
but when I ask for a minute of his time to help
he gives me an hour, a whole afternoon.

My dad has never told me he loves me
but that time I had car trouble the week before pay-day
he silently handed me a cheque.

My dad has never told me he loves me
but he’s the only one who’s read all my stories
marking and scoring them in blue ink.

My dad has never told me he loves me
but the more I think about it as I get older
he’s telling me all the time.
