If Teardrops Were Diamonds

If teardrops were diamonds I'd be very rich indeed,
and dad I never felt more rich than when you were 
here with me.I miss our little talks we had you always 
knew how to lift my spirits,things seem rather quiet 
now in my life dear dad without you in it.

I really do not think I will ever stop missing having 
you near,your loving kindness and conforting ways 
always brought me cheer.If teardrops were diamonds 
I would give them all away,to be granted just one wish 
to spend with you a day.

But these things will never come about this I know is 
true,not on this earth anymore but on some golden 
daybreak in heaven I'll see you.I will never have to 
worry about crying ever again,for there will never be 
tear up there in that promise land.
