[Intro]
In the silence of a moment, echoes of the past,
February's chill, a shadow that's cast.
I wish I could rewind, feel your warmth again,
But the clock keeps ticking, all I have is pain.
[Verse 1]
Back in the classroom, hands trembling tight,
Gut instinct screaming, something isn't right.
Called you "Daddy" with a quivering voice,
But heard the sighs of fate, no longer a choice.
Mama's eyes widened, fear gripped the air,
Thoughts racing fast, wishing to be there.
The Grim Reaper lurking, unseen in the shroud,
Would I have known if I’d been more loud?
[Pre-Chorus]
Rushed to your side with a prayer in my mind,
Heart in my throat, always seeking to find.
Holding on tight to every word that you’d say,
But the light was fading, slipping away.
[Chorus]
Oh Daddy, I'm lost, searching for you,
Every day’s a struggle, memories hold true.
You were my hero, my guiding star bright,
Now I'm just wandering, lost in the night.
[Verse 2]
Called 911, they promised to care,
But in that moment, I felt despair.
The morning sun rose, it brought bitter news,
The last breath you took, like a candle, it blew.
You whispered your worries, "I'm tired of this fight,
Just want to go home, let me slip out of sight."
[Bridge]
And every evening, I look up and pray,
Wishing you’re with me, hoping you’ll stay.
The weight that I carry, it cuts like a knife,
Every day since losing, the battle of life.
[Chorus]
Oh Daddy, I'm lost, searching for you,
Every day’s a struggle, memories hold true.
You were my hero, my guiding star bright,
Now I'm just wandering, lost in the night.
[Outro]
February’s heartache, forever it seams,
Finding you in shadows, tracing my dreams.
Your little boy’s here, holding tight to the past,
Missing you dearly, love that will always last.
