I know this man
Who is dear to my heart.
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart.
This man taught me everything
That I needed to know,
But I never really listened
Until he had to go.
He gave me love
And touched my life.
It’s all over now;
He no longer has to fight.
He tried to teach me
Right from wrong.
The day he left
I wasn’t that strong.
He is gone now,
It is hard to believe.
This man is my dad
Whom I will never see.
But I will see him again,
This I know.
The day will come
When it’s time for me to go.
So, I’ll hold him dear
And close to my heart
‘Cause the day we meet
I know we’ll never be torn apart.
