Nothing's been the same since you've gone and left this place,
I'd give up everything just to see your rugged face.
I prayed tonight that Jesus would tell you I said hi,
And that you would continue to watch me from the sky.
I hope that you are proud of me and what I have become,
It's hard living without you when my life has just begun.
I know our times were few but I hold them very dearly,
If I was having trouble, to the right path you would steer me.
I remember all those times that we went out on the lake,
And how you knew how to make just the perfect wake.
Its hard to see your pictures because it burns deep inside,
But I know you were my father and your face I can never hide.
I try not to think about you because the pain I just can't bear,
But you're always in the back of my head, I see you everywhere.
I'm glad that you're with Jesus, I promise you it's true,
But daddy, dear daddy, I'm tired of missing you...
