I’m thinking of you, I hope you’re proud
I just want to say

I miss you, come back, Dad
Life’s been hard without you, Dad
I just want to tell you how much I need you
I hope you’re watching over me
I’m doing my best, Dad
I’m trying to stay strong, I’m holding on
Oh, God! I hope you’re smiling down on me
We’re doing this for you, Dad
We’re trying to make you proud, I hope you see
I just want to say
