I knew a man, he was the greatest man
I've known in all my days.
Then one day God called on him,
and now he's gone away.

I loved this man with all my heart,
and in my heart he'll stay.
Continuing to lift me up,
and lead me when I stray.

This great man he was my Dad,
he meant the world to me.
He was always there supporting me,
even when he disagreed.

He was my rock, my sounding board,
He could always make me see.
The things in life that matter most,
are truth and family.

Even though eye to eye,
we do not always see.
I promise Dad to live my life,
with love and honesty.

I miss you Dad so very much,
and deeply it pains me.
I can't believe I won't hear your voice,
your face no longer see.

I hope you know you're my hero,
and this you'll always be.
I will find strength, I'll carry on,
I'll make you proud of me.

Until the day we meet again,
I know waiting you will be.
In paradise, I'll see you there,
with your arms wide open for me.
