I Miss You
I know how lost and lonely
Your world was for a while
Your eyes so sad and empty
Your face without a smile
Your world so out of focus
Set you walking the wrong street
And always I’d be there
To wipe the tears of each defeat
But never did I give up hope
I always prayed we’d win
I prayed with me beside you
Once again your soul would sing
For you were still the son I loved
Who’d brought me so much joy
You were still a part of me
You were still my boy
You found the strength so many times
To wash away the pain
Rebuilding all your hopes and dreams
You’d learn to smile again
But in my heart I always knew
Your search for peace of mind
Would only ever find you
When you left this world behind
I feel an endless ache inside
I feel so incomplete
For losing you it means
I've lost the biggest part of me
Forever I will miss the laughs
Our talks, your smiling face
Forever I will miss the son
I never can replace
It’s hard to let you go
Because we never said goodbye
Now you’re an Angel in God’s Heaven
High above the sky
But sometimes when I'm all alone
And feel all hope is gone
I seem to hear you whisper
"Dad, just smile, and carry on"
(For Colin & Jamie)
