lyrics

Daughter:
I often wonder if you can hear me?
Since you’ve gone, it’s all a dream
Are you watching when I cry?
Can you heal me, when I hurt inside?

I’ve got your picture turned away
I can’t bare to feel more pain
I miss you more than you know
Dad, why did you go?

Dad:
My Sweet Angel, I hear you
When you sleep, I dream with you
I have wiped away all your tears
I’ve secretly answered all your prayers

Your smile is forever a part of me
It’s what makes my soul breathe
And I am sorry for leaving you now
But I promise this somehow ….

Chorus:
Daughter:
Will you be with me on my wedding day?
Will you be there to hold my first baby?

Dad:
I will walk you down the aisle
promise to love my grandchild

Daughter:
Dad, I miss you

Dad:
Angel, I am here for you

Daughter:
I speak to you every night
And I pray by the pale moonlight
I thought I saw you yesterday
But all the silver linings have turned grey

I often want to turn back time
But the bells of hope have lost their chime
Have you thought of me today
Or has your little girl faded away

Dad:
Bridge
I hear the whispers in your silence
I am here when you need guidance
Although I seem invisible at times
rest assured, I am here by your side

repeat chorus
