I remember when I was little
And I held my daddy’s hand
The memories come flooding in
So, I do the best I can
—————–
To try and hold back the tears
As I say my last goodbyes
Feeling the swelling of my heart
That’s spilling from my eyes
——————
You see, daddy always loved me
And I always knew it was true
And that is why, my little one
I always say – I love you
——————-
And there’ll come a time someday
When you will be standing where I do
Holding the hand of your little one
And saying – I love you, too
Yeah, holding the hand of your little one
And saying – I love you, too
Goodbye… one of the saddest words in the English language…
