The day started with a whisper to my ear
I knew you wouldn fuss
That day
Time of year
My thoughts of you smiling
Looking my way
This world has one missing
I miss you today

I looked in the mirror and saw in your eyes
The son of a father
Sweet tears from his sighs
The time had not healed
The sea that I shed
I long for your voice
Not that
Found in my head

The date started early
My time for reflect
Another year missing
My heart torn and dead

The smell of the coffee brought smoke from my thought's
This need of your fixer
From a bygone of tucked in dreams
Such memories hold me
Those past in my hand
The sadness evolves me
This day be the dammed

Time made the move that held me and cried
Reflections of mirror's
That look in my eye
Hours of laughter now echo's rebound
From times in our fighting I'd beat you a cry
Stop cos its hurting
My laughter our high

Violins to trumpets filled ears dipped in wax
Remember the music
A classic be had
I never quite got it
Yet now understand
You passion not doubted
Beethoven commands
Deep breaths steal my wanting

Dusk brings me home to a family of three
My son to be proud of
A wife next to me
They all miss your knowledge
Your kindness
Your love
Without you
There'd be ghosts in my love

We thank you my father
I'm proud your my dad
Happy Birthday
