Missing You
River in my dreams
From the mountain streams
So much you took from me
Made my life hard to be
Looking into you hoping to find something from the past
In your water moving so fast
Tears
After all these years
Pain
Started this stain
Sit here lost in the used to be
Memoires I see
Little girl lost
My soul the cost
A moment of distraction
A lifetime reaction
eyes still fill with tears
After all these years
Pain fills my heart
Feel it ripping apart
Wake up at night
My heart filled with fright
I am still in that water trying to find you
My world was through
Frantic
Panic
The sun no longer did shine so bright
Nothing could ever be right
My baby girl I failed you
Over my world the darkness grew
And I knew
Life would never be the same
I'm to blame
Distraction
Reaction
Pain
Stain
Tears like rain
I wake from in the river searching every night never to find
Peace of mind
This broken heart
Will never part
Daddy loves you so much still
The pain I feel
Never to heal
