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

Goodbye Dad
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
