[Intro]
A quiet morning turned into a silent cry
Never thought I'd see the day, never thought goodbye
Time stood still as I drove through the pain
On my birthday, caught in heartbreak's rain
[Verse 1]
Woke up with the sunlight, feeling just fine
Then my phone rattled, changed my lifeline
Mom’s voice trembling, a gentle shock
Said the words I never wanted to hear—nonstop
[Pre-Chorus]
Ten years of memories, now fading away
Lost in the moment, I couldn't look away
Thought it was a joke, a cruel birthday game
But reality hit, and nothing felt the same
[Chorus]
Papa, you’re gone, left a hole in my heart
On my special day, I’m falling apart
Love and loss, shadows that stay
Your spirit’s in me, guiding my way
[Verse 2]
Driving to the place where silence screams
Holding onto fragments of shattered dreams
Ex-wife’s call, a sob in her voice
Telling me Grandpa, had no more choice
[Pre-Chorus]
Footsteps on memories, carried by tears
Fighting through the sorrow, conquering fears
Thought it was a joke, a cruel birthday game
But reality hit, and everything changed its name
[Chorus]
Papa, you’re gone, left a hole in my heart
On my special day, I’m falling apart
Love and loss, shadows that stay
Your spirit’s in me, guiding my way
[Bridge]
Years of love, laughter, and tales
Now silent stories in the wind's sails
But in my heart, you'll always stay
A hero’s smile, forever on display
[Outro]
So on this day, I light a candle bright
Remembering you in the soft moonlight
Though you're gone, your love remains
In every heartbeat, through the pain
