There must be a place in my heart for you
from a long time ago
So far away, so far away

When I think about you and look at the past
I have no feelings at all
But when the images struggle to find their way back
the writing's all over the wall, over the wall.

There must be a place in my heart for you
from a long time ago
So far away, so far away

I could never imagine a fatherly love
or the pedestal kind of a dad
I could not understand that Daddy's girl look
the one that I never had, I never had.

There must be a place in my heart for you
from a long time ago
So far away, so far away

I can never recall any time in my life
when I felt true affection for you
except for the time I thought you might die
and I didn't know what to do, what to do,
thought you might die and I did not know what to do

So I ran to your bedside and hoped you could hear
the first time these words came from me
"I love you Dad, please get well soon"
with tears in my eyes that you could see, you could see.

But there must be a place in my heart for you
There must be a place in my heart for you
There must be a place in my heart for you
from a long time ago
So far away, I can't find it now
No, I can't find it now
'cause it's so far away, so far away

There must be a place in my heart for you
There must be a place in my heart for you
There must be a place in my heart for you
from a long time ago
