DADDY, DID YOU SEE ME?
Daddy, did you see me?
I was standing at the door
Waiting for you to come home
Just like I did before
sssh, Daddy's sleeping
I told everyone today
They say you're with the angels
But when do we get to play?
I really just don't get it
I really just don't know
Why you had to leave me
Why my best friend had to go
People say that I am special
But my needs are truly few
I really just need my Dad
To show me what to do
How am I supposed to learn
How to be a man?
That was supposed to be your job
Mom tries the best she can
Your pictures are pasted on a board
I looked at them today
I remember all the things we did
And what you used to say
You said that I was your Best Bud
Your son, you said with pride
There's a picture of you smiling
With me right by your side
You taught me how to deal with life
To walk, to talk, to run
But without you Dad, I have to say
It really just isn't fun
I go to school, I laugh and play
I'm carrying on you know
But I really still don't get it
Why did you have to go?
Daddy,
do you see me?
I'm still standing by the door
Waiting for the day to come
When we're together forever more
Love Jamie
