I'm staring at the picture,
The one with you and me,
I'm clutching it real tight,
And try to think of all our memories,
But every things a blur,
Because you left me when I was 3,
And now you're like a stranger,
A person I don't see,
Not a single call,
Did I ever get from you,
I never got to tell you that I love you,
And to hear you answer back with "I love you too",
I never got to see,
Your million dollar smile,
I never got to hear,
You laughing for awhile,
I can't remember the feeling,
Of you holding me tight,
I don't remember you kissing me,
On the cheek at night,
Daddy you weren't there,
To see me go off on my first day of school,
You weren't there to wave goodbye,
And assure me that you'd be back for me,
You aren't gonna be there,
When I need advice on a guy,
You won't be there,
When that guy breaks my heart and makes me cry,
Daddy you won't be there,
On my prom night,
You're not gonna be there,
To tell me if I look alright,
You aren't going to be there,
On my graduation day,
You aren't going to be there,
To watch as your little girl grows,
I never got a chance,
To be daddy's little girl,
Never got to hear you say,
That I'm growing up too soon,
You aren't gonna be there,
To walk me down the aisle,
On my wedding day,
And giving me a smile,
You aren't gonna be there,
To see your grandchildren,
They're never gonna get to know who,
They're grandfather is,
Daddy my eyes,
Are filling up with tears,
Because I know you'll never be there,
To watch me as a grow.
*This poem is dedicated to my daddy that will never be there* |
