Richie McDonald Lyrics
"Before It's Too Late"

Hello Dad, it's been a while
Forty years to be exact
Yeah time flies
Heard you're not feeling well at all
I apologize it took so long to call

I'd love to tell you about my wife and three kids
No I don't blame you for anything you and mom did
I guess the biggest mistake we could ever make
Is never saying I'm sorry before it's too late

What's that you say, yeah I've been blessed
I owe it all to God's good grace I confess
When you were young you say you wrote songs too
I'll bet in so many ways I'm a lot like you

I'd love to tell you about my wife and three kids
No I don't blame you for anything you and mom did
I guess the biggest mistake we could ever make
Is never saying I'm sorry before it's too late

I don't know how we did it
Squeezed forty years into thirty minutes
Oh but I'm so glad we tried

Wish you could meet my wife and three kids
Yes I forgive you for anything you ever did
I guess the biggest mistake we could both make
Is never saying I'm sorry
Dad I'm saying I'm sorry before it's too late
