Daddy, oh, daddy
Why you leave me so soon?
Without a word, without a goodbye
My heart is heavy, Lord
You didn't say you were feeling low
You kept the pain all to yourself, you know
We didn't see the sickness creeping in
Until you left us, where do I begin?
December coming, making it two years
Still drowning deep inside of all these tears
It feels like yesterday you walked away
I'm still here waiting for you every day
Oh, my loving father, my hero so true
My heart is aching, I'm missing you
You were a husband, so caring and kind
A beautiful memory still on my mind
But the fruit of your labor, you didn't get to taste
This bitter feeling, it just won't erase
Rest in the blossom, where the angels stay
Until we meet again, I bow and pray
You are a good man, everyone can see
An honest soul who meant the world to me
You loved my mother with a heart of gold
A story of greatness that must be told
I search for answers in the empty room
Chasing the shadows that you left in gloom
Words cannot capture what I feel inside
This empty space is where I hide
Oh, my loving father, my hero so true
My heart is aching, I'm missing you
You were a husband, so caring and kind
A beautiful memory still on my mind
But the fruit of your labor, you didn't get to taste
This bitter feeling, it just won't erase
Rest in the blossom, where the angels stay
Until we meet again, I bow and pray
Though you are gone, your spirit remains
You are the healing inside of my pains
Walk with the Savior, in light you will be
Watching forever, looking over me
Rest in the blossom, my dear father
No more pain, no more wahala
Just peace, sweet peace
(Guitar fades into silence)
Rest on, Daddy.
