Subject: Lyr Req: Help please, what is the song?
I am trying to get the title of a song that has been in my head all day. It was played on the radio in October and November 1976.

It was about a father reflecting upon himself and his lack of understanding towards his young son.
It was a monologue type song similar to desiderata, not sung.

The only lines I recall from it are

“You were playing with your friends and ruining the garden and I shouted at you, I knew I had humiliated you.
Tonight, while I was watching television you came into the room, why aren’t you in bed yet., you said I only came to say goodnight daddy.
Tonight, while you were sleeping I came into your room and thought what is happening to me, you are coming to me with love, from now on I am going to be the father I should be

My child, my little boy.

Thanks in anticipation.
