The reason I haven't talked to Eli is because I still missed my dad so much, I missed the way he'd say, "Come here Angel, daddy has something to tell you."
YOU USED TO CALL ME YOUR ANGEL, SAID I WAS SENT STRAIGHT DOWN FROM HEAVEN
Or when I would cry, he'd hold me close, and his strength would help me fight on.
YOU'D HOLD ME CLOSE IN YOUR ARMS, I LOVED THE WAY YOU FELT SO STRONG
Or when he would have to go to work, I would get so sad, I never wanted him to go.
I NEVER WANTED YOU TO LEAVE, I WANTED YOU TO STAY HERE HOLDIN ME
I missed everything about him, his laugh, his smile...
I MISS YOU, I MISS YOUR SMILE
I still cry sometimes, but not nearly as much as when it just happened.
AND I STILL SHED A TEAR EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
It's so different now, everything has changed.
AND EVEN THOUGH ITS DIFFERENT NOW
He's still with me, I know he is.
YOUR STILL HERE SOMEHOW
Whenever I think about him my heart hurts.
MY HEART WONT LET YOU GO
I also remember sometimes, when I was a little kid, I would wake up in the middle of the night, and he would be up and he's say, "Come here my dreamer, tell me, what's your dream?"
YOU USED TO CALL ME YOUR DREAMER
I would always say the same thing, "To be an author daddy." and he'd smile and say, "Well, then that's what your gonna be." and guess what, he was right.
AND NOW IM LIVING OUT MY DREAM
I had just published my first book a few weeks ago, I wish he was here to see it.
OH HOW I WISH YOU COULD SEE, EVERYTHING THATS HAPPENIN FOR ME
I keep reliving old memories...
IM THINKIN BACK ON THE PAST
But every time I do, I realize how long he's been gone. Time is going by way too fast.
ITS TRUE THAT TIME IS FLYIN BY TOO FAST
I know he's in Heaven and I know its better there than here on Earth.
I KNOW YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE, YEAH
All I want is to be able to see his face and not be looking at a picture.
BUT I WISH I COULD SEE YOUR FACE, OH
I know he's where he's supposed to be, even though the fact that where he needs to be isn't with me hurts.
I KNOW YOUR WHERE YOU NEED TO BE, EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT HERE WITH ME
I just miss him.
I MISS YOU.
