I was cleaning today and I found a picture of you, <br />It caused all these memories and feelings to start, <br />Visions of the times we shared, good and bad ones too.. <br />Then there were the ones from the day my life was ripped apart. <br /> <br />Tears now begin to fall, <br />I can still remember the sound of my breaking heart, <br />As the doctor told me in that hall, <br />That with this life you are now about to part. <br />I cried a million tears that day, <br />It was like a dream gone bad, <br />It had me asking god how could he do me this way, <br />Why would he want to make me so sad? <br />Of all the people in the world why were you his choice, <br />I wish I could have told him first that I needed you too, <br />If only I could hear the sound of your voice, <br />Calling my name, saying hello or even I love you. <br />I wonder if he thought of how I’d feel, <br />I know I’m told he always picks the best, <br />I’m also told in time my heart will heal, <br />But why you above the rest? <br />Didn't’t he know what we’d been through, <br />That we had just gotten it together again, <br />That I had finally gotten you to say you love me too, <br />I could finally say “That’s my dad he’s such a great man”. <br />Daddy I hope you know I only wanted you to be proud, <br />Daddy’s girl is what I wanted to be, <br />If you would have only said it out loud, <br />Maybe things would have been different for you and me. <br />I was guilty to, <br />Always doing everything wrong, <br />And then saying I was taking after you, <br />Why did it take us so long? <br />To figure out, <br />That I was your little girl, <br />And that without a doubt, <br />You were my world. <br />I miss you more every day, <br />The memories and pictures are all I have now, <br />I cherish them more each day, <br />Someday, I don’t know when or how, <br />We will meet face to face, <br />And I will see you, <br />And we will share your special place, <br />And once again I can hear you love me too. <br /> <br />I will love you forever..
