I called my dad
this morning, just to say hello But I forgot
he was long gone; my heart forgot to know. It
was hard to breathe for a moment; he was my
friend I wanted to sit and talk with him;
once again
He’s up in Heaven now; went
even before my mother I could look this wide
world over and never find another. No one was
likened to him; he had his own sweet charm As
we all lived a wonderful life together; on the
farm.
One day I'll be with him again; my
mama too I am so glad they are in Heaven
together; looking through. He was my
inspiration; he failed me never at all But,
we knew to answer him, when he gave us a
call.
Thinking on him takes me way back
to childhood The way he always tried to teach
us kids to be good. It wasn't just his words
I head; but the look in his eye Like if he
looked ahead; he'd see something to make him
cry.
Not to worry dad; you'll never have
a tear again I know God loves you being
there; a man among men! We’ll be together
again in that soon coming day I'll put my
arms around you, then I think Jesus will let me
stay.
