Verse 1)
Dear Papa, I love you and I miss you so,
I just wanted to write you this song you’d know,
You were the glue, the laughter in the air,
The funny rhymes you’d share, the love you’d care.
You had no favorites, that was the best,
You worked your whole life, gave more than the rest.
(Chorus)
I miss the fishing, the hugs, and your voice,
The clever advice that made me rejoice.
I know you’re watching with that smile so bright,
If I could call you, I’d say we're alright.
But there’s a hole where you used to stand,
Papa, I miss you, please understand.
(Verse 2)
The great-grandbabies, they’re growing up fast,
They’re happy as ever, but I wish you could last.
See them laughing, hold them tight,
Take care of their fears in the still of the night.
It’d be a whole lot better if you could be here,
But we’ll carry your love, year after year.
(Chorus)
I miss the fishing, the hugs, and your voice,
The clever advice that made me rejoice.
I know you’re watching with that smile so bright,
If I could call you, I’d say we're alright.
But there’s a hole where you used to stand,
Papa, I miss you, please understand.
(Bridge)
Watch over Nana, she misses you too,
She loves you, Papa, just like we do.
We’ll hold onto the memories, so pure,
Until we’re reunited, that’s for sure.
(Chorus)
I miss the fishing, the hugs, and your voice,
The clever advice that made me rejoice.
I know you’re watching with that smile so bright,
If I could call you, I’d say we're alright.
But there’s a hole where you used to stand,
Papa, I miss you, please understand.
(Outro)
We’re all here waiting, counting the days,
When we’ll see that smile again, in the sweetest ways.
Hold on, Papa, we’ll meet you soon,
Until then, we’ll send our love to the moon.
