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)
