life is life and so it goes

i thought you'd be here wherever i go

it's been years now i managed somehow

the emptiness grows no one knows

i see how things could have been

see how they should have been

i wanted you to show me how

wish you were here right now

i miss the things we used to say

made me feel that special way

i'm your son forever still you're my dad who never will

see how things could have been

see how they should have been

i wanted you show me how

now things don't matter now

in a different life i'd see you

you would light the way for me

take this loss from my heart

put it in the past in the dark

and be here dead please save me

i see how things could have been

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

see how things could have been

see how they should have been

i wanted you to show me how

i wish you were right here right now

life is life and so it goes

i thought you'd be here wherever i go

it's been years now i manage somehow

miss you dad

the emptiness grows and no one knows

i see all things could have been

see how they should have been

i wanted you to show me how

i wish you were right here right now

and see how things could have been

see how they should have been

i wanted you to show me how

now things don't matter now
