You never said, "I'm leaving...."
You never said, "goodbye....."
You were gone before I knew it...
And only God knows why
There has been a million times that I've needed You
a million times that I have cried
if love alone could have saved You
You would still be here....
In life I loved You Daddy...
in death I love You still
In my heart
You hold a that deepest part of my heart
that no one can ever fill...
It crushed my heart......
my life...
my soul....
to lose You.....
for a part of me went with You that day.....
Always know I love You Daddy
and no one can take your place.....
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased
Still I try to understand
Why this happened to you Daddy
How do I get through my own inner pain
Thinking of you....
I just can't get you out of my mind
Isn't this supposed to get easier with time.....
I love you
I miss you
I wish you were here
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name
It seems without you in my life things have never been the same
What happened to those lazy days when I was just a child
When my life was consumed in you in your love
and in your smile
What happened to all those times when I always looked to you
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face
Yet in my turning...
it seems the sound has been erased
Dad,......who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit
Many memories in my mind
Some I laugh
Some I cry
The times we shared
The laughs we had
Things I miss when I think of you Dad
Realizing that's all I have to hold on too
Only memories
Of what once was you
Missing your laugh
I will never again hear
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear
No more smile on your face
No more warmth of your embrace
To have you Daddy here today
Never to leave your little girl this way
You were my hero
Not like all the rest
When it came to fathers
You were always the best
You were a teacher
Like none I've ever known
Teaching that reaping comes
From the seeds that are sown
You were my best pal
My first real friend
You remained that to me now
You were the first man
That taught me about love
One pure and simple
Sent from God above
You were the man
To all others I would compare
You placed the stars in my eyes...
Your memory keeps them there....
