  • Your daughter

    Your daughter

    Your daughter missed her dad today
    I wish there'd been another way
    I wish you could have seen the light
    And knew that it would be all right

    I know that as the presents gather
    There is one thing that she would rather
    Have more than all the gifts piled high
    To see the sparkle in your eye

    And in your voice the joyful sound
    That meant your princess was around
    And on your face the biggest smile
    To be with her a little while

    And I can never ease her pain
    She won't see you on earth again
    She'll have to put her faith in love
    That now comes down from up above

    I hope some day she'll understand
    That hurting her was not your plan
    You wanted for her all the best
    But hurting so you needed rest

    God walks with you now in grace
    Perhaps so there with be a place
    And time that harmony's restored
    To the daughter you adore
