If My Daddy Knew

Written as a tribute on the one year anniversary of the death of my husband and children's father... almost 5 years ago....

If My Daddy Knew…

 

If he knew it would be the last time
that he’d see me fall asleep,

would he tuck me in more tightly
and pray the Lord my soul to keep?

 

If he knew it would be the last time
that he’d see me walk out the door,
would he give me a hug and kiss
and call me back for  more?

 

And if my Daddy knew he had to leave              

and could never again see me smile,                          

I know he’d ask for one more minute                        

to stay and play with me awhile…

 

My Daddy had to go away from us               

because his time was up you see,                            

but I have time to be with everyone                       

who means so much to me...

 

Just in case I might be wrong
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and hope you don’t forget….

 

 

Tomorrow is not promised to you
young or old alike,
and today may be the last chance
I get to hold you tight.

 

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
make some time and find a way.
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll soon regret today...

 

Regret you didn't take that time
for a smile a hug and a kiss,
and you didn’t give someone
what was their one last wish.

 

So hold your loved ones close to you
and whisper in their ear,
that you love them very much and
that you hold them dear.

 

If I could have my Daddy back                       

I’d love him every day   

and I’d never have to wonder                                

if he knows I feel that way
