Unconditional - Kirk Whalum

Daddy waited up, in the kitchen by himself

I came stumbling in that night

With liquor on my breath

He said, «Son I know you live here

But this is still my home

It’s my way or the highway»

So I said alright, «I'm gone»

And before I slammed that door

I said, «I hate you»

But he just shook his head, and said ok

But you can’t stop my love for you

It’ll be here that’s a given

As long as I am living on this earth

One thing is true

You will turn away, forget me

Curse my name but love won’t let me let you go

Son always know, my love is unconditional

Life is like a circle

Slowing turning on itself

And girl it took losing you

To finally know how daddy felt

But we stood in this bedroom

A year ago today

Hangin' on to pride and anger

As we threw our love away

And before you slammed that door

You said, «I hate you»

But tonight if only you could hear me say

That you can’t stop my love for you

It’ll be here that’s a given

As long as I am living on this earth

One thing is true

You will turn away, forget me

Curse my name but love won’t let me let you go

Girl always know

My love is unconditional

You will turn away, forget me

Curse my name, but you can even let me go

But you need to know

My love is unconditional
