This song is very touching and I can more than relate to it. Chris breezy, my lover sang this song for his father who abandoned him, his mom and his younger brothers. Now that he could talk about it, he spoke to his father in song, case as we know that is how he relates his feelings best through song! I got comfort from this song the first time I heard it, and I still do today. My daddy left me, my mom and my older brother and like Chris I was hurting. That is why I guess I love chris so much. Keep strong honey and I love you!
