Will You Ever Know

I don’t think you’ll ever know How the love I had for you was like no other How willing I was to do anything you asked me How far I went to make you happy and failed But only wanting to ever make you proud I don’t think you’ll ever know When I said I love you with my whole heart When I said daddy I want to be just like you When I said id love you till I die and then some Because it came deep from the heart I don’t think you’ll ever know How handsome I thought you were How much I loved every little thing about you even your flaws How much I just wanted you to care about me Because you’re my dad and I was supposed to be daddy’s girl I don’t think you’ll ever know How much I hated it when you yelled How all I ever wanted was to see you laugh How my heart beat with joy every time I saw you smile Because you were my daddy I don’t think you’ll ever know How much pain I suffered How many nights I cried in a row How many times my heart broke into more and more pieces Because all I ever wanted was you to care My dad, the one and only dad That will never be replaced by any other that will never be erased from my memories some were good some were bad, I’ve never stopped trying to make you proud I love you I always will and I hope maybe, just maybe one day, my dreams will come true Maybe you’ll know now how much I love you! And you will be proud
