When I needed you Dad, you were always there...
Now you're gone and it doesn't seem fair...
Though it's been many years since you died,
I will feel the pain from deep inside.
Oh Dad, I still miss you so,
and I just don't understand why you had to go...

And though I told you in the end,
And made sure you knew,
That I always loved you Dad, and I still do...
I know now I didn't say or show it near enough,
I was too busy with a life of my own and stuff...
Things that weren't as important I can now see,
Oh Dad, how I wish I had done things differently...

I wish I had done things I didn't do,
And I wish I hadn't done a few things I did do too...
But I can't go back in time to the start,
Though I wish I could with all my heart...
If I knew then what I know right now,
So many things would be different somehow...

You meant so much more to me than I let show,
I should have spent more time letting you know...
You taught me so much about what a parent should be,
And I always knew how much you loved me...
And though you are in heaven Dad and not on this world,
In my heart I will always be Dad's little girl...
