My darling daughter, before God took you away <br />There were so many things I wanted to say <br />I loved you, my baby really loved you so <br />And that you loved me, Holly I already know <br /> <br />But then you died and I never got the chance <br />I was destroyed by this tragic circumstance <br />A daughter shouldn't be the first to die <br />Leaving a father crying and asking God why <br /> <br />I never got to tell you why <br />Sometimes there would be teardrops in my eye <br />They were tears of happiness and glee <br />That God sent this little angel to me <br /> <br />And if you were still alive today <br />I'd tell you that I'd never go away <br />If you needed me I would be there <br />With a father's love and compassion to share <br /> <br />Why God decided to take you' I'll never know <br />To leave me here crying and missing you so <br />Maybe Heaven needed another star at night <br />And you were selected for your beauty so bright <br /> <br />Now when I look up into the nighttime skies <br />And all of the stars that fill my eyes <br />I talk to them all hoping one is you <br />And tell you all the things I always wanted to <br /> <br />Harry J Couchon Jr 1995<br /><br />Harry J.
