There’s a picture in my heart, two girls with eyes like dreams of gold. Jenna, the secret I held close a story never told the worst mistake I ever made was signing my name on that dotted line giving our time away
Shawna, sweet light that warmed my soul when I was cold after signing on that line that was so black and bold You were my song, my saving grace, more precious than I’d ever know, oh how I wondered if Jenna would find me one day when she was grown I named you both after the two strongest women I know, please don't let my absence create a distance where who they are to you remains unknown I am so proud of you both for the women you have grown to be and the families you have birthed rooted from our ancestry tree I walked through the valleys or darkness, I ran from the shadows that I now know were me Lost in a storm I couldn’t see But God gave us a little time To say, “I love you” before goodbye, so say thank you to the big man that sits way up high in the sky
[Chorus] So knock three times if you’re missing meTap on your heart and I’ll hear it, you’ll see If you feel a breeze or a tear on your cheek That’s just Papa brushing by so sweet And if the moon shines a little more bright That’s me, your angel in the night
So knock three times, and baby, you’ll know I never let go.
Oh, how I wish I’d been the man To hold your hand down the aisle To show you which love of a man builds you up And which ones never stay awhile But girls, you gave my life a song In a world where I’d been lost for far too long And though I’m gone, I’m not far away I’m the whisper at the break of day
Tell my grandbabies ‘bout who I was
The good, the bad, the kind, the flawed
But say their Papa’s love ran deep
And it’s in their hearts, forever to keep
When you feel unsure, or lost, or small
Look to the moon and give me a call
Talk to the stars until you’re at ease
I’m the hush in the night, I’m the wind in the trees [Final Chorus]
Knock three times if you’re missing me
Twice on the floor if you’re feeling weak
Every giggle, every sigh, every tear you weep I’m right there, my love runs deep
So don’t be sad, just look above —
I’m flying free on wings of love
And knock three times, sweet daughters of mine I’ll send you a sign.
Don't be sad girls I'm here and I'm never leaving you, in fact I finally get to fly and see you. God answered my prayer before my body went into despair, he made me into a bird so I could fly, fly far away from here, my pain was too much to bare and I didnt want to be a disappointment to you because I wasnt all there. Let your souls be at peace because I'm finally happy and free waiting at the gates for you to be with me.
Sit pretty now, let your soul be still
I’m waiting at the gates, and I always will
Forever yours, through sky and sea Papa’s love lives in you two and my grandbabies, a love that you will one day again get to kiss, hug and see. Please don't cry, just remember me. I love you girls, I'm always going to be your dad.
