(Verse 1)
The world was bright, a vibrant hue, where memories play,
I recall a time, a brighter day.
Ten years of age, a world so vast, Until the day I lost you. A tender age, just ten years young, Then shadows fell, and time flew past, My life's song changed.
(Chorus)
Grief, a visitor, unwelcome and deep,
Coming to terms that your slumber is sleep.
Missing and loving you, always I will,
In my heart, your memory, a love that's still, Oh, Dad, my Dad, a love so deep,
Grief's ocean vast, where memories sleep.
I miss you now, as years unfold,
A story of love, forever told.
(Verse 2)
The milestones pass, the years take flight,
Your grandsons grow, bathed in golden light.
My sons now laugh, their spirits free,
But oh, the joy you'll never see.
Their tiny hands, their precious smiles,
Missed moments stretched across the miles, But in this life, a twist of fate,
You'll never meet them, it's hard to create.
(Chorus)
Grief, a visitor, unwelcome and deep,
Coming to terms that your slumber is sleep.
Missing and loving you, always I will,
In my heart, your memory, a love that's still, Oh, Dad, my Dad, a love so deep,
Grief's ocean vast, where memories sleep.
I miss you now, as years unfold,
A story of love, forever told.
(Bridge)
One lifetime broken, a bond torn apart,
Ten years have passed, still a heavy heart.
A hundred steps missed, a path incomplete,
A thousand memories, bittersweet.
Ten thousand hugs, never to embrace,
But in eternity, we'll meet face to face.
(Chorus)
Grief, a visitor, unwelcome and deep,
Coming to terms that your slumber is sleep.
Missing and loving you, always I will,
In my heart, your memory, a love that's still, Oh, Dad, my Dad, a love so deep,
Grief's ocean vast, where memories sleep.
I miss you now, as years unfold,
A story of love, forever told.
(Outro)
In heaven's realm I know you're watching, from heaven above,
Guiding us with eternal love.
Me and my sons, under your watchful eye, Your love surrounds, a gentle glow.
Till we meet again, in the sweet by and by of endless days.
