My Daddy

If only I could turn around,
And be back home again,
Secure within my daddys arms
And lose that hurtful pain.

If only I could turn back time,
Back to my childhood days;
Id make some changes in my life
In, oh so many ways.

Id ease the pain in my dad
I caused along the way,
To eliminate the way I made him feel mad;
Maybe then he would have stayed.

Please, understand Im not unhappy
For that which god has given;
But see it as a path that I personally
Would not have taken.

Dont take me wrong, Ill have you know
The life I live today,
Is not a life I would give up,
Even during those not so great days!

Its just that I miss him unconditionally
Throughout these special times,
I know I have a special place, in his heart,
And he in mine.
But when I turn around so proud of something I have done,
I realize hes not there, to see how far Ive finally come.

Although some day a knight may come to swoop me off my feet,
I know deep down inside of me
No matter who ends up in his seat,
I will always know that my daddy loves me!

He will always have a special place,
Deep down inside of me,
Where I can store those thoughts of him,
The ones that you cant even see
The most precious treasure Ill ever have,
Is the knowledge of his love.

The great and everlasting love
He will always have for me.
No matter what it is that comes between us
I will always know hes with me in the only way that matters¦
Hes right here inside my heart,
Where he will always be.
