Daddy, Daddy I love you so,
Oh why, oh why did you have to go?
Right now I'm sitting here close to tears,
Thinking of all those far flung fears,
You could be lost, you could be dead,
Oh my, oh my what have I said?
Sometimes I sit here, through the night,
Dreaming of all those far flung days,
I see it all as if an unfocused haze,
I see you standing at the lowest stair,
Arms open wide but yet I stare;
Tears swelling in my open eyes,
Pouring out as we say goodbyes,
Daddy, Daddy I love you so,
But why, oh why did you have to go?
I've cried so many times I can not count,
But I never figured I'd sum up this amount,
You may be gone forever, but this I see,
You're untarnished by the dust of time,
Forever fresh in memory.
