Daddy Loves You

[Verse 1]
The clock ticks slow, but the nights move fast,
A life of memories, they just don’t last.
I feel the weight of what I can’t undo,
Each breath I take, it’s all for you.
[Chorus]
I am dying, and my heart can’t handle this sorrow,
I’m just hoping that I get to see you tomorrow.
So I can tell you that Daddy loves you,
And I hope, oh, I hope that you remember me too.
[Verse 2]
The moonlight falls through the windowpane,
Shadows dance like they’re hiding my pain.
I hold your picture, it’s my guiding star,
Even if I’m gone, I’m never far.
[Chorus]
I am dying, and my heart can’t handle this sorrow,
I’m just hoping that I get to see you tomorrow.
So I can tell you that Daddy loves you,
And I hope, oh, I hope that you remember me too.
[Bridge]
When the sun comes up, and I’m not around,
Feel my love in the wind, in every sound.
I’ll be the whisper in the morning dew,
A part of this world, still holding you.
[Chorus]
I am dying, and my heart can’t handle this sorrow,
I’m just hoping that I get to see you tomorrow.
So I can tell you that Daddy loves you,
And I hope, oh, I hope that you remember me too.
