Lyrics

I did love you, dad, I do love you

I do wish you were here, but you left too soon

If I have a wish, I do want you back

I did love you; I do love you

I did love you, dad, I do love you

I do wish you were here, but you left too soon

If I have a wish, I do want you back

I did love you; I do love you

How I wish my pops was here

He did his part and left us here

Death has taken him away from me and I am trying to find a way

A way that I can survive without him, I have to play my part

Taking all the measures and absorbing all the pressures

He raised us well, he taught us right

He gave us love, he showed the way

Writing all my lessons for the kids yet unborn,

hoping they can find it, find my words inspiring

my pops did the same, but it wasn’t through a book.

I hope where you are, you are feeling so much better

Years without you, but we still got to move,

fishing for ourselves and the same for the family

now that am growing up, learning from the grannies,

the old men with their jokes but jokes full of wisdom.

We thankful for your love

You made us who we are

You did what you could

You made us smile at least

Smile at least

We still love you!

I did love you, dad, I do love you

I do wish you were here, but you left too soon

If I have a wish, I do want you back

I did love you; I do love you

I did love you, dad, I do love you

I do wish you were here, but you left too soon

If I have a wish, I do want you back

I did love you; I do love you

Oh man, you left us early

Thinking I could get you, Bentley

You earn it dad, you deserve it

Look at us we are gents and ladies

Left us here as boys and girls

I am hoping and I am trying,

Am I working to be better

For myself, for the family

There are days that I call you and I am hoping that you pick up

My bad you are gone, it’s my prayer that you fine

Took some new pictures, want to share them with family

Wrote some new poems, and I know that you will love it

I got a girl, she is pretty

I am thinking you will like her

She has a lot in common with me, I am thinking she’s the one

Walking on the street, many kids with their dads

playing hide and seek, and they are looking for their dads

and so is my story

but mine can’t be found, lost, can’t be found.

but mine can’t be found

you struggled yet you made us laugh

Broke, but you got us gifts

Busy, but you spared some time

Help us do our homework right

We are grateful for your sacrifices, Dad

Words, cannot express how we feel when they’re gone,

I get it, you lost your dad, but the feeling ain’t the same,

for me to understand how you felt, how you dealt with it,

We are living in your debt, we’re sorry for the debt.

We are sorry Dad; we still love you

We want you back!

I did love you, dad, I do love you

I do wish you were here, but you left too soon

If I have a wish, I do want you back

I did love you; I do love you

I did love you, dad, I do love you

I do wish you were here, but you left too soon

If I have a wish, I do want you back

I did love you; I do love you
