Daddy's Song

Time has passed by so quickly You’ve been gone 2 yrs today I never knew something could hurt so much The wound from losing you hasn’t even begun to heal It’s still fresh and split wide open Daddy, how do we do this? I still buy your candy Candy I’ll never eat again I just give it away days later It's just something that I gotta do Oh Daddy, what are we supposed to do Without you here with us It’s so hard to believe You were here and now you’re gone What are we gonna do Daddy, How will we find our place in this world, now When you and Mom are all we’ve ever known. I wish I could wake up from this nightmare And you’d still be here Oh Daddy, what are we supposed to do Without you here with us It’s so hard to believe You were here and now you’re gone What are we gonna do I hope you can't hear me When I cry out to Heaven to get me through Hell I don't want you to be sad None of this is your fault How are we supposed To fill this empty space Nothing can replace The life we made with you I wouldn't let it even try Those old wore out flannel shirts you loved so much Gets me through nights When nights get tough They make me feel so close to you Daddy what are we supposed to do You've missed so much Your first grandson has a daughter now She's beautiful, Daddy She looks so much like you Your second grandson Your name sake, Graduated 8th grade What I wouldn’t give to have seen your face When you heard his name called Your granddaughter, your Tator-head got glasses She loves them, unlike the rest of us How are we supposed to do this without you here What are we gonna to do Time has passed by so quickly You’ve been gone 2 yrs today I never knew something could hurt so much. What are we supposed to do now We miss you Daddy
