We were always kinda scared of him, he was strong and handsome

And he made it clear who wore the pants in the family

Everybody tried to please him, we fought for his attention

Then we would shine like twinkling stars

Don't you wonder who we are

But he was just too far away to see.

Our captain sailed us sternly through the storm

He kept us safe, if maybe not so warm

His silence might have kept his kids at bay

But I think he loved us more than he could say.

He wasn't much of a talker, so Mom would have to tell us

How proud he was of each of us, and how he really cared

He was busy taking care of things, and we were busy leaving

Now all the King's horses from way back when

Can't quite put us together again

But heaven knows, we do the best we can.

Now, every empire has its rise and fall

In time the harshest tyrants fade away

He never said "I love you" that I recall

But after all, it was more than he could say.

I drove down for the weekend, he was glad to see me

He said, "Your Mom, you know, is kinda slow, it's hard to get around.

But we appreciate your coming, we know you keep so busy

We hope the girls are doing fine

Tell them to come by sometime

We'd love to see you all next time around."

Well, every empire has its rise and fall

In time the harshest borders fade away

I never said "I love you" that I recall

But after all is said and done

I love you more than I can say.
