~I Miss You Daddy~

I'm missin' you Daddy, why did you leave?
You left at a time when I have a great need.
The hole that you left, in my soul and my heart,
Hurts me so bad, where do I start?
You left at a time when I needed you most
Leavin' only behind a shell of a ghost.

And now when I sleep and when I arise,
I'm findin' a tear, a tear in my eyes.
I'm wishin' and hopin' you will return,
It's your daughter that needs you, 
Oh how my heart yearns...

I need you to be here, and in my life,
Help me to manage my teenage strife.
Please think these things through.
Please give me a chance, I think only of you,
I miss you, I need you, you must know it's true. 
Please give me a chance,
Please give me a chance,
For I love you Daddy, and I sure do miss you..
