They've finally stopped, my torrent of tears <br />Since seeing you my daughter, after all these years <br />Years that without you held only gloom <br />Now for sadness, in my heart there's no room <br /> <br />Alison I missed you each and every day <br />I loved you, more than words can say <br />Love I'm happy to say I can express to you at last <br />You're back in my life again, so let's forget the past <br /> <br />Not all of it, remember the fun we had? <br />How I'd forgive you, if you acted bad <br />Not that you were bad often, in fact hardly ever <br />Did I stop loving you? No, never <br /> <br />You're my little girl and I'm your daddy <br />One of the best things that ever happened to me <br />You and your sister were my reason to live <br />Giving you all of the love that I had to give <br /> <br />When from you my daughters, I was torn apart <br />The heavy weight of depression landed in my heart <br />Depression that lifted, hearing your voice on the phone <br />You're in my life again, now I'll never be alone <br /> <br />And now to you my little girl, my dear <br />I promise your daddy will always be here <br />Whenever you need me all you have to do is call <br />To ask me for anything, anything at all <br /> <br />And now when I go to sleep at night <br />I can sleep knowing everything is right <br />Losing you, one of my greatest fears <br />You're back in my life, after all these years<br /><br />Harry J.
