I shook when Mama told me,
I held her and I cried.
I couldn’t believe that he was gone;
I wouldn’t believe he died.
But on that day his time was up,
Unto the sky he’s gone,
To live with Titans beyond the rainbow—
With his Creator one.
Daddy, Daddy, won’t you shine for me?
I’m trying so hard to make you proud of me.
Daddy, Daddy, my heart feels like stone;
I know you’ve gone to a better place
But still I feel alone.
I saw you praying at my bedside
When you thought I was sleeping.
And as I heard you plead for me
The angels saw me weeping.
But now you’re gone and it is I
That kneels for you at midnight.
I pray for truth and my heart knows
You’ve gone into the sunlight.
Daddy, Daddy, won’t you shine for me?
I’m trying so hard to make you proud of me.
Daddy, Daddy, my heart feels like stone;
I know you’ve gone to a better place
But still I feel alone.
My daddy is the morning sun,
I know that he’s with me.
And every time the dawn does dawn,
His likeness will I see.
My daddy is the crescent moon,
A friend in darkest night,
‘Cause when I’m lonely in the gloom,
I see my daddy’s light.
Daddy, Daddy, won’t you shine for me?
I’m trying so hard to make you proud of me.
Daddy, Daddy, my heart feels like stone;
I know you’ve gone to a better place
But still I feel alone.
His smile is the twilight sunset,
His laughter shooting stars.
Oh, Daddy, all I see in sunlight
Is everything you are.
My daddy is the lightning crashing,
A thunderbolt from heaven.
A thousand galaxies his birthright,
His soul will live forever.
Daddy, Daddy, won’t you shine for me?
I’m trying so hard to make you proud of me.
Daddy, Daddy, my heart feels like stone;
I know you’ve gone to a better place
But still I feel alone.
So Daddy, Daddy, don’t you cry for me;
Keep shining on, ‘cause, Daddy, you are free.
Oh, Daddy, Daddy, I want to be like you,
I tell the sunlight every day,
"Oh, Daddy, I love you."
