Remembering
God took my daddy home today
with kindness and great care
to a place where he can finally rest
and be with his family there
I wasn't with him when he died
God and I know the reason why
for fate had swiftly dealt her hand
knowing that my dad would understand
He had a kind, good gentle heart
a strong, yet silent man
I can close my eyes and see him there
playing in the angel band
He led a quiet, simple life
blessed by a loving grace
and I know that he is safely home
held tight in God's embrace
I will miss him greatly everyday
now and through the years
but I know he's watching over me
as he gently dries my tears
with kindness and great care
to a place where he can finally rest
and be with his family there
I wasn't with him when he died
God and I know the reason why
for fate had swiftly dealt her hand
knowing that my dad would understand
He had a kind, good gentle heart
a strong, yet silent man
I can close my eyes and see him there
playing in the angel band
He led a quiet, simple life
blessed by a loving grace
and I know that he is safely home
held tight in God's embrace
I will miss him greatly everyday
now and through the years
but I know he's watching over me
as he gently dries my tears
