tears roll down my face staining my cheek

I don't want to cry,I don't want to seem weak

but it's so hard to do when I think about what I had

the absolute funniest most amazing dad

I cant believe that you are really gone

it's all so unreal to me

daddy there's somewhere you need to be

with your loving family

you should be out fishing

I shouldn't be left here wishing

wishing I could hug you one more time

leaving me at 18 is simply a crime

everyday I'd wait for you to get home from work

some days you'd be taking forever driving me beserk

finally I'd see you come through the back gate

I'd greet you at the door, and ask why you were late 

on weekends we'd watch t.v

you'd sit in the recliner and fall asleep

snoring so loud and talking in your sleep

I just want you back home

but I just tell myself your happier now

a cold beer in your hand 

sitting in the nice cool sand

your pole is in the water 

the bobber just shot to the bottom

a fish is on your line

so is it selfish of me to ask for some more time?
