Why?
The heart with in this child aches.
Watching Mommy and Daddy
My little heart breaks.
Why is Daddy leaving?
Why is Mommy screaming?
And why am'I silently grieving?
I lay awake alone each night.
And wonder why they must fight?
My lips they, quiver.
I can't help but shiver.
As I Plead, Oh Lord,
Let them be alright.
Now my Daddy is gone.
And I know not where.
I wonder where I belong?
Does Mommy still love me?
Does Daddy still care?
oh, how my life has changed
around here!
There's no laughing in my
house anymore.
There's no more singing
like there was before!
My Daddy is gone.
And our visits are rare.
I hurt inside but
it seems nobody cares.
My Mommy tries to fill the gaps.
But there's no more sitting
on my Daddy's lap.
My Mommy says he had
to move far away.
And now he can't come
to see me everyday.
I cry and I say "I'll be good".
That I'll be the little girl
that I should.
Just Please Dear Lord,
bring him back if you could.
I want him back,
in my childhood.
Now the days have passed
and times gone by.
My tears have subsided
and I seldom cry.
My Mommy has found
a brand new life.
But for me there is one thing
that lingers inside.
I can't help but wonder Why?
Why did you leave me?
My daddy Dear.
Why did you stay away
for all those years?
Why didn't you come
and dry my tears?
Why did you leave me
without a dad?
Daddy didn't you know
that I was so sad?
Daddy,I thought of you often
and wished you were near.
Daddy, I prayed all the time
my wishes you'd hear.
Daddy time has taken away
most of the pain.
But there's one thing I've learned
and something I've gained.
Daddy the love a child
Is something so rare.
Daddy a child without love.
Is a child in dispair!
