      I can never hear your voice again
      and even if I tell you
      what ails me now
      I cannot hear an answer
      You're far from me
      and my pain is too great
      You've gone

      There's so much I still needed to say
      so much I still wanted
      to learn from you
      Opportunities lost
      never knowing that
      they were even there
      You've gone

      How will I ever explain you
      to the grandson you will never know?
      The essence of you
      cannot be described
      and any image from photo
      or word would be cheap
      You've gone

      My fury is so great that
      death would dare to claim you
      with so much left undone
      so many of your wishes
      that will not be granted
      You deserved more
      You've gone

      I loved you from the start
      a better father I could not have
      You may not have said it
      or shown it in obvious ways
      but you loved me
      I'm daddy's girl
      with no daddy anymore

      You chose me from a list of mothers
      I'm so glad you adopted me
      if I had picked anyone
      it would have been you
      Goodbye, darling daddy
      I'm going to miss you so
      You're gone
