DAD

Tell me Dad, Why did you go?
Why did you leave me alone in the world?
You were the best Dad a guy could have,
Ever since you left, I am nothing but sad.

I wish I could have helped you that day,
I wish I could have made your pain go away.
I can remember the last words that you spoke,
they replay in my mind like a record that's broke.

I remember holding your hand saying "dad dont go",
but still you left, and your body turned cold.
I watched your spirit drifting away,
Knowing I would never hear you again.

If I could, I would have taken your place.
I could hardly stand to see the pain on your face.
I would have ripped out my heart and gave it to you,
You know yourself I'm telling the truth.

Tell me Dad, What will I do?
My whole world revolved around you.
You where my Dad and my best friend,
One that can never be replace again.

We had so many things planned to do.
Now I have to do them all without you.
Things around here will never be the same,
I just wish I could see you again.

Seems like our life together went by so fast,
I hope I never forget the times we had.
Memories and pictures are all I have now,
It just isn't the same Dad, with you not around.

If I had the chance to go back in time,
I would spend it all right by your side.
Making you laugh and making you smile,
right up till the day you died.

I wanted you to be around to see my kids,
I wanted you to be the one to teach them to fish.
I wanted you be able to spiol them all,
I wanted you to hear them say "paw paw".

We all miss you so much Dad.
Life without you is so, so Sad.
I would feel much better, if I could see your face,
And knew that all you pain went away.

I guess this is something that I will just have to face,
I know in my heart your in a much better place.
I know I hardly ever said this to you,
But I want you to know Dad, "I Love You".
