Second hand, slowly, ticking only one second at a time.
Can I tell you what I am feeling, before I lose another second,
And I regret that I never took the time?
Hesitating, waiting, for a moment when I can say that I love you,
And be glad that I spoke my mind.
We all need to hear it...

CHORUS:
Clockwise, driving forward,
My mind is racing with all of these things I have wanted to say.
Clockwise, driving toward
This notion of what a friend and father you are to me.
We all need to hear it sometimes...

Second hand, slowly, ticking only one second off my mind.
Can I tell you what I am feeling, before I lose another second,
And regret that I never took the time?
Hesitating, waiting, for a moment when I can say that I love you,
and be glad that I spoke my mind.
I think you need to hear this...

-CHORUS-

I hold on to all of the memories, every day there's something new.
I'll always have each of our memories, they all remind me of you.
I think you need to hear this from me...

-CHORUS-
a father to me.
