Daddy, if you can hear me
 I'm right here by your side
  I'm trying to be strong
But these tears I cannot hide.

    I have kept them hidden
So you would not see my sorrow
   But now the end is near
  And there may be no tomorrow.

  So, when I say I love you
 My tears will fall like rain
 Please let them be the rivers
  That wash away your pain.

  Let me hold you in my arms
   Until this day must end
You're more than a special father
   You're also my best friend.

   If the morning never comes
And you've taken your last breath
  Remember this isn't the end
   Your life begins in death.
