Sometimes at night
I'd lie awake
Longing inside
For my father's embrace
Sometimes at night
I'd wander downstairs
And pray he'd returned
But no one was there
 
Oh, how I cried
A child all alone
Waiting for him to come home
 
My father's chair, sat in an empty room
My father's chair, covered with sheets of gloom
My father's chair
Through all the years
And all the tears
I cried in vain
No one was there
In my father's chair
 
Sometimes at night
I sit all alone
Drifting asleep
In a chair of my own
When sweet sleepy eyes
Peer down from the hall
Frightened by dreams
They cannot recall
 
Holding them close
Calming their fears
Praying they always will say
 
My father's chair
Sits in a loving room
My father's chair
No matter what I do
My father's chair
Through all the years
And all the tears
I need not fear
Love's always there
In my father's chair
 
Sometimes at night
I dream of a throne
Of my loving God
Calling me home
And as I appear
He rises and smiles
And reaches with love
To welcome His child
 
Never to cry
Never to fear
In His arms, safe and secure
 
My Father's chair
Sits in a royal room
My Father's chair
Holds glory beyond the tomb
My Father's chair
My God is there
And I am His eternal heir
Someday I'll share
My Father's chair
