I got a thousand things running through my mind
It feels like peace I'll never find
I kept holding on to the hope that you'd pull through
Yet it wasn't meant to be
I'd give anything to just sit and hold your hand all evening
And pray with you again
I don't know how to get back up from horrid blow
I don't understand why you suffered so
Or why you had to go
How am I supposed to keep living
When I've lost my best friend
My voice of wisdom in the chaos of my life
My hero, the one who always had my back
Through thick and thin
I stood there by you and held your hand
While your heartbeat slowed
And you took your breath
I was forced to let you go
I don't know how to get back up from this
Yet I look at my children and grandchildren
And I know why I'm still here
The last thing you told me was
Take care of everyone
I love you
I know...love never fails
Life isn't fair
And Heaven is so far away
Yet one breath close
So my sweet daddy
Till we meet again at God's throne
Please send me signs once in awhile
So I know that you're still with me
In the love we shared
Goodbye my Daddy
Till we meet again
