Daddy
While you were here I did not see
All the things that you could teach to me
I did not hear all you had to say
I did not listen I just ran away
You always tried to teach me right from wrong
Waiting to listen to you way to long
Today’s too late to see it clear
The time to realize past by I fear
I needed you until the finish line
You left me way before our time
Unfair as it could be
Never again to see you smile at me
Walk awhile with me
Now my baby is two years old
Her grandpa she will never know
All the things you taught to me
Through your eyes she will never see
I needed you until the finish line
You left me way before our time
Unfair as it could be
Never again to see you smile at me
Walk awhile with me
