Memories are so clear, vivid and real
I can’t imagine a time when I did not feel
A burning sensation deep down inside
Of a love that I had, I no longer hide
I lived longer without him than I did with
All precious times, gladly to give
To have him return whatever the cost
To regain once more the love that I’d lost
Things I remember the details so great
His smile and his walk to see I cannot wait
I did love him some wonder why
My father my idol oh why did he die
After a fight for survival, no more could he give
To stay with his family every reason to live
The saddest of all was he wasn’t at home
Life ebbing away, he died all alone
The day is my hope to see him again
To stand beside him free of pain
To walk right behind him, he I will follow
When once again I will be his shadow
