For Daddy

People say, you´re only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
What they don't realize

Is when I´m dialing your number just to hang up the phone
Driving 'cross town just to see if you´re still home
Waking a friend in the dead of night
Just to hear her say, "It's gonna be all right"
When I find things to do not to fall asleep
'Cause I know you'll be there in my dreams
That's when Daddy´s more than a memory

Took a match to everything you ever wrote
Watched your words go up in smoke
Tore all the pictures off the wall
But that ain't helping me at all

'Cause when I am talking out loud and nobody's there
I look like hell and I just don't care
Drinking more than I ever drank
Sinking down lower than I ever sank
When I find myself falling down upon my knees
Praying to God and begging Him please
That's when Daddy´s more than a memory

People say you're only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget

Last year, on this day you were so happy. We´ve been together, smiling, laughing, celebrating your Birthday - now, you´re gone and I´m standing in front of your grave, still shocked, still in tears, still in grief.
Happy Birthday Daddy, I´m terribly missing you.
