I didn’t get the chance to say
Just what you mean to me
You always were my hero, Dad
I wish I’d made you see
That no matter what you did or said
And the promises you made
I always thought the world of you
Your place I’d gladly trade.

I don’t like it here without you
I feel lost and out of place
Even though I was a daddy’s girl
I can’t bear to see your face
Staring back in those old photos
You look happy, but just in case
I can see the pain behind your eyes
Though we never saw a trace.

You must have felt so lonely
But I hope towards the end
You truly found some peace of mind
Those demons weren’t your friend
Though you were so far from home
You were always in my heart
I can’t believe you’ve gone from here
I should grieve but don’t know where to start.

I didn’t get to tell you
That I love you, and ask you why
I hope that you can hear me
Every night when I lay and cry
You’ll never be forgotten Dad
This is my goodbye
Your love for me I could never question
Goodnight Dad, I’ll see you in heaven
