Just A Teardrop Away
I knew no man with a warmer heart
A giving nature was just one part
With sadness in his eyes
And a smile on his face
With a pain in his heart
That years could not erase
At times we were close
Never too far away
He gave comfort with a hug
And hope for a new day
I pray that he knew of my love for him
From a daughter to a Dad
And from deep within
The time that we shared
Brought us laughter and tears
Always appropriate through the years
Life still goes on, Dad
Though you're not here
But I'll never forget your love
Not for a minute, a day or a year
Life still goes on, Dad
Though you're not here
But I'll never forget your love
Not for a minute, a day or a year
