Life is life and so it goes

I thought you'd be here

Wherever I go

It's been years

I manage somehow

The emptiness grows

and no one knows

I see how things could have been

I see how they should have been

I wanted you to show me how

I wish you were here right now

I missed the things you used to say

It made me feel that special way

I'm your son forever still

You're my Dad who never will

I see how things could have been

I see how they should have been

I wanted you to show me how

Now things don't matter now

In a different life I'd see you

You'd light the way for me

Take this loss from my heart

Put it in the past in the dark

And be here Dad please save me

I see how things could have been

I see how they should have been

I wanted you to show me how

Now things don't matter now

The emptiness grows

and no one knows

I see how things could have been

I see how they should have been

I wanted you to show me how

I wish you were here right now

Life is life and so it goes

I thought you'd be here

Wherever I go

Miss ya Dad

The emptiness grows

and no one knows

I see how things could have been

I see how they should have been

I wanted you to show me how

I wish you were here right now

I see how things could have been

I see how they should have been

I wanted you to show me how

Now things don't matter now
