”my daddy couldn’t be here
because he lives so far away
but i know he wishes he could be
since this is such a special day
and though you cannot meet him
i wanted you to know
all about my daddy and how much he loves me so
he loved to tell me stories
he taught me to ride my bike
he surprised me with pink roses
and taught me to fly a kite
we used to share fudge sundaes
and ice cream in a cone
and though you cannot see him
i’m not standing here alone
cause my daddy is always with me
even though we are apart i know
i love my daddy very much
he is my shining star
and if he could, he’d be here
but heaven is just too far”
