When that day came

When the day came
where i heard that you wouldnt be there
I was to young to see
but when i look back now I know what it meant

You were gone from all of our lives
not one of us got to say goodbye
as we sit here and cry
not knowing the reason why

In the end we lost the best person alive
the father that everyone dreamt to have
the son that we wished to go far
the uncle that meant the world to us

That one spring day i lost my dad
the one and only one I will ever have
the one that kept me smiling day by day
the one that i would run to and say " daddy want to play? "

I look back on those days
with not a thing to really say
just the thought that you were gone
at such a young age.

So now I know what they meant
when they told me you wouldnt be there
it was a couple years later
i figured out that you were out of my life.
