[Verse]
Sixteen candles flickered out
Your voice gone
Left a hollow shout
Whiskey breath and broken vows
Still I miss you anyhow
[Prechorus]
You weren’t perfect
No one is
But love’s a weight
It won’t dismiss
[Chorus]
Daddy’s shadow
Still it lingers
Holdin’ tight with ghostly fingers
Every fight
Every tear
Still I wish that you were here
[Verse 2]
Calloused hands and a crooked grin
Built me up
Tore me down again
Sundays quiet
Mondays loud
Still I see you in the clouds
[Prechorus]
The good
The bad
They blur and twist
But love’s a chain
It can’t resist
[Chorus]
Daddy’s shadow
Still it lingers
Holdin’ tight with ghostly fingers
Every fight
Every tear
Still I wish that you were here
