I heard a country song on the radio the other day & i'm wondering who sings it. I don't know the exact words but it's about a father who isn't the best dad for is son, but the son tells him he loves him after every dissapointment. It goes through the son's life starting when he's little and goes through to him telling his father goodbye when he's dying. ANybody know who sings it and the words?

I think it's a fairly recent song and the son tells the dad "I love this much" or "I love you more" at the end of each verse.

"I Love You This Much"
He can't remember
The times that he thought
Does my daddy love me?
Probably not
That didn't stop him
From wishing that he did
Didn't keep him from wanting
Or worshipping him
He guesses he saw him
About once a year
He could still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they'd go
Whispering daddy
I want you to know
[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much
He grew to hate him for what he had done
'cause what kind of father
Could do that to his son?
He said 'damn you daddy'
The day that he died
The man didn't blink
But the little boy cried
[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much
Half way through the service
While the choir sang a hymn
He looked up above the preacher
And he sat and stared at him
He said
'forgive me father'
When he realized
That he hadn't been unloved
Or alone all his life
His arms were stretched out
As far as they'd go
Nailed to the cross
For the whole world to know
[Chorus:]
I love you this much
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'm never giving up no matter what
I love you this much

Cat's in the Cradle
"Cat's in the Cradle," appearing on the 1974 album Verities & Balderdash, is a song by American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin.
The song is told in first person, that of a father who is too busy to spend time with his son. As the son grows older, he admires his father and wants to grow up in his image.
After the son becomes a man, the father is eager to spend time with him, to make up for lost time. However, the son now claims that he is too busy with his own work and family to spend time with his father.
Sadly, the father discovers that his son has grown up to be just like him. Just like him in the sense that the father didn't want to make time for his son, and so his son is doing the same to his father.
The song was written by Harry's wife Sandy, a poet and writer, long before the birth of their son Joshua. When Sandy showed it to Harry, he had only casual interest. After Joshua's birth, Harry realized just how much the song meant to him and, after reworking the song, eventually recorded it. The song became the best known of Harry's work and a staple for folk rock music.
The song was used as the music bed for a Northern Ireland Office anti-terrorism advertising campaign in the late 1980s.

Are you shure it's a BOY? Because I know a song similar to that song but it's about a girl. It's called Daddy's Little Girl. It's sung by Frankie J. You can hear it on Power 96 (96.5) If you want to listen to it you could go to www.muvids.com and search Daddy's Little Girl or Frankie J.
Here are the lyrics:
[Verse 1:]
He drops his suitcase by the door
She knows her daddy won't be back anymore
She drags her feet across the floor
Tryna hold back time to keep him holding on
And she says
[Pre Chorus:]
Daddy Daddy don't leave
I'll do anything to keep you
Right here with me
Can't you see how much I need you
Daddy Daddy don't leave
Mommy's saying things she don't mean
She don't know what she's talking about
Somebody hear me out
[Chorus:]
Father listen
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go
Father save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, Father
I pray to you
[Verse 2:]
Now she hasn't slept in weeks
She don't want to close her eyes cause she's scared that he'll leave
They tried just about everything
It's getting harder now
For him to breathe
And she says
[Pre Chorus:]
Daddy Daddy don't leave
I'll do anything to keep you
Right here with me
Can't you see how much I need you
Daddy Daddy don't leave
The doctors are saying things they don't mean
They don't know what they talking about
Somebody hear me out
[Chorus:]
Father (father) listen (listen)
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go (don't have to go)
Father (father) save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, Father
I pray to you
[Hook:]
Please don't let him go (don't let him go)
I'm begging you so (I'm begging you so)
There open his eyes
There ain't no more time
To tell him that I love him more
Than anything in the world
Is Daddy's little girl
[Chorus:]
Father (father) listen (listen)
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go (don't have to go)
Father (father) save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, Father
She was Daddy's Little Girl
Mmmmm Oh
