DADDY'S HOME
I KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS FOR YOU TO LEAVE
SAYING GOODBYE TO MOM AND ME
MAYBE IT WAS A BLESSING IN NOT KNOWING
WHAT THE FUTURE HELD FOR US THREE
I MISSED OUR BEDTIME STORIES
AS YOU TUCKED ME IN FOR SLEEP
I MISS OUR PRAYERS TOGETHER
ASKING OUR LORD OUR SOULS TO KEEP
AND MOMMY OFTEN TOLD ME
AS SHE HELD ME
CLOSE EACH NIGHT
HOW YOU WENT
TO WAR TO KEEP US SAFE
SOON... THINGS WOULD BE ALRIGHT
BUT DADDY I WAS TIRED
AND THE PAIN CAME BACK AGAIN
I TRIED TO BE A
BRAVE GIRL
RIGHT TO THE VERY END
MOMMY SMILED AT ME
THROUGH TEARS THAT FILLED HER EYES
THEN SHE SAID SHE SET ME FREE
AND KISSED ME ONE LAST TIME
DADDY I'M UP IN HEAVEN NOW
IN CASE YOUR LOOKING FOR ME
I'M LOOKING OVER MOM AND YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOUR EYES CAN'T SEE
AND DON'T WORRY DADDY
I'M NOT FRIGHTENED OR ALONE
BECAUSE I REMEMBER YOUR LAST WORDS TO ME
" DADDY IS COMING HOME "
I SEE YOU IN THE DISTANCE
YOUR SMILE LIGHTS THE
SKIES
DADDY HOME WITH HIS LITTLE GIRL
NOW WALKING SIDE BY SIDE.
