If I had known it was the last time
I would have held you longer whispered low
All the words I kept inside
All the love I didn't show
You saved me when the world was cold
Your strength was my guiding light
But now you're gone and I'm left here
Wishing I had made things right
Dad I'm so grateful I'm your daughter
For every time you stood by me
You saw the best when I couldn't see
You were the hero I longed to be
I'm sorry that I fell so far
From the dreams you had for me
But know in my heart you'll always be
The man who loved me endlessly
You never judged the paths I took
Just let me find my way alone
But I can't help but feel the weight
Of the times I let you down
I wish I'd been a better soul
Someone you could proudly claim
But even through my darkest hours
You loved me just the same
Dad I'm so grateful I'm your daughter
For every time you stood by me
You saw the best when I couldn't see
You were the hero I longed to be
I'm sorry that I fell so far
From the dreams you had for me
But know in my heart you'll always be
The man who loved me endlessly
You never judged the paths I took
Just let me find my way alone
But I can't help but feel the weight
Of the times I let you down
I wish I'd been a better soul
Someone you could proudly claim
But even through my darkest hours
You loved me just the same
Dad I'm so grateful I'm your daughter
For every time you stood by me
You saw the best when I couldn't see
You were the hero I longed to be
I'm sorry that I fell so far
From the dreams you had for me
But know in my heart you'll always be
The man who loved me endlessly
Your wisdom was the quiet force
That guided me when I was lost
Now I carry your voice inside
In every choice in every cost
I wish I could turn back the time
To let you see the love I felt
But now I send it to the sky
Hoping it's something that you felt
Dad I'm so grateful I'm your daughter
For every time you stood by me
You saw the best when I couldn't see
You were the hero I longed to be
I'm sorry that I fell so far
From the dreams you had for me
But know in my heart you'll always be
The man who loved me endlessly
So here's my song my last goodbye
To the man who made me strong
I hope you hear these words from heaven
I hope you know you were my song
I'm grateful for your love your light
And I carry you with me day and night
Forever proud to be your daughter
Forever wishing I could hold you tighter
