Went out for milk

(Verse 1) Dad left one sunny day, said he'd be back real soon, Said he's off to buy some milk, under the afternoon's bright moon. Promised to return before the day was gone, But little did I know, it would be a wait so long. (Chorus) Dad, why is buying milk taking you so long? I've been waiting here for years, but you're still not home. Every passing day feels like a lifetime gone, Dad, why is buying milk taking you so long? (Verse 2) I watched the seasons change, from spring to winter's snow, But still, there's no sign of you, wherever you may go. I've grown old and gray, with each passing year, But the memory of your promise, still lingers near. (Chorus) Dad, why is buying milk taking you so long? I've been waiting here for years, but you're still not home. Every passing day feels like a lifetime gone, Dad, why is buying milk taking you so long? (Bridge) Maybe you got lost along the way, Or maybe time just slipped away. But no matter where you are or what you've done, I'll keep waiting here, until you come. (Verse 3) Now I sit by the window, with a heart full of hope, Watching the world go by, through a telescope. I know one day you'll return, from wherever you've been, And we'll share a glass of milk, like we did back then (Verse 1) Dad left one sunny day, said he'd be back real soon, Said he's off to buy some milk, under the afternoon's bright moon.
