Daddy, I wish I had known you So long ago Why did you leave me And not let me know. They say that you loved me Whilst you were still there Reading me stories And stroking my hair. You held me up high Said you'd give me the moon Then why did you go And leave me so soon. Something happened, Between you and my mum The happy times ended The laughter, the fun. For way too long There was no mention of your name And I was too young To apportion blame. When you passed over You were alone I would have wrapped you in love If only I'd known.
