For My Dad

My eyes are playing tricks on me I thought I saw you standing there I thought I heard you laughing I saw your smile reappear Your so close but far enough away My arms just can't reach to Out and over where you are I need so bad to touch you To hear the comfort of your voice That someday I fear will fade I run so fast to catch you but you just move further away I wake up crying out most nights Calling out your name I can almost hear you calling back But your voice doesn't sound quite the same I just needed to tell you Your more than just a memory I miss and love you so much This was for you daddy

Very heartfelt, I lost my father recently so I know how much this hurts.
