Barry Manilow - Sunday Father Lyrics






Hand in his hand though the park
All afternoon
A fine day to fly balloons or tell him a story
Hand in his hand to wonder
Till day is done
Sunday father and son
Sundays are there's to explore
Alone by law
One day to keep the two from turning to strangers
One day to know the answers
Be firm, be fun
Sunday father and son
The father weaves though the weekend streets
Sunday done, monday comin' on
He leaves the child by a modest home
That they share no more
With the woman who waits indoors
Till she knows he's gone
Where are the words or the games
A place to go
Someway to let him know you want to be with him
Somehow it's always ending
Just half begun
Sunday father and son
Sunday father and son

    Very poignant; very sad; great song.

    Many years ago. That was me. My dad picking my brother and sister and I up and going to his house in Staten island. There were days when I didn't want to go with my dad.. But my mom would insist that I have to go. Then there were times when I did go with dad on that Sunday afternoon, and came home feeling blue..I still remember when he would leave me, and I would cry for him, my dad..Now that I am a grown man, 49 years old, listening to this song, brings back alot of memories. The years are gone. Still Makes me sad. The past had alot of good happy times. . Dad today, is still alive, and 73 years old. Thank You Lord Jesus. I don't see him that often as I should. With work, and me in new Jersey and dad in Brooklyn, sometimes makes It hard.Dad, If you ever read this, I love you dad. Ps if anyone has ever been in this situation, go see your dad, or call him,and fathers go see your son/daughter. Life is too short. God bless you always.

    I never thought this would be me.  My sons are fairly grown now.  But they are with their mother several hours from me.  No matter how I reach out, there's no reply.  I don't know what I did.

    My sons father gets more than he deserves!  Left a son with autism!!

    Beautiful song!  However, this is the choice of so many father.  Fathers get the fun days and mother get the work.  In the end the mothers will get the respect!!

    @carol thompson FUN DAYS?? Are you nuts? You think that all I want to do is have fun with my kids? How about watching them grow up? Have an impact on their development...helping them to finish their homework...and other incredible things like that.
    Please, don't insult guys like me.....this is definitely NOT MY CHOICE!!!!

    I miss my father
    Divorced us in 1978
    Barely noticed he had 3 children who needed him
    But at the end of his life, he knew he was dying so he asked us all to spend some time together
    His last few weeks were spent with us as much as possible
    It was hard
    I came to love him again
    He died in 1998
    It still hurts today, 2k12
    I wish we'd had more time

    Arlo Keith Lewis SR. ♡♥♥

    He wasn't a Sunday dad, but he was mine
