Watching Over Me

Watching over me

I feel you in my glowing heart
And see you in my dreams
At least I think it could be you
Or so as it seems

You passed away so soon from us
I miss you every day
I know you're still around me
I can feel it every way

A light appears in my sleep 
It twinkles in my eye
One thing that i do regret
I did not say goodbye

You took away our laughter
The fun we used to share
Especially at Christmas time
Now you're just not there

A man who was my father 
So bold and very strong
You taught me everything thing I know
Including right from wrong

Forget me not my uncle
I know that you are here
I sense that you are near me
When I shed a tear
