Today is the day,
I have taken a deep breath,
To tell you now,
Just how I feel,
To let you know,
Everyday means something,
Never let them go.
Have you ever had those days?
Where you don't want to talk,
Not to friends or family,
But deep down your feeling something,
You don't want to hurt anymore,
Holding it all in,
You cry alone.
Have you ever had the feeling?
You love someone,
But never say just how you feel,
Never looked them in the eye,
Never shared your feelings,
And before you no it,
You'll never even get a chance,
To say your last goodbye.
Have you ever felt regret,
Real, like nothings worse.
Had that feeling in your stomach,
Like you never said the most important thing,
On a very special day,
The day that matters most,
The one you can't bring back,
So before you let those words not be said,
Before you take a breath and stop,
Before you let it all go,
Make sure you know,
What if that day never comes?
Where you get a second chance,
Where you can say those words,
That means so very much.
Trust me when I say this,
If theres something you need to say,
Don't hold back,
Don't let the words slip away,
I didn't say how I felt,
Not that day,
I didn't say how much I loved him,
Or how much Id miss him,
If he wasn't there,
I didn't say how much I cared,
Or hoped he'd be OK,
I never said just how I felt,
Or how I thank him,
For being there every day.
My dad, I loved him,
I always will,
But all I know,
Is I need to say,
Whatever you do,
Don't let the words slip away
