Daddy Dear Daddy

by John Peterson

For the boy I was
It is to be
Memories of my youth
That's what I see

You left me alone
When I needed you most
Lost sad and alone
Now just a ghost

I remember my childhood
So full of joy
I remember you there
I was just a boy

Forever in my thoughts
And in my heart
I thought you would always be there
Didn't know we would part

So many years ago
I still feel the pain
It still comes to me now
In waves like the rain

Daddy dear daddy
I love you still
I never stop missing you
And I never will
