Missing Dad

Fishing hooks and baseball caps Saturday drives to the woods and back Your wisdom still lives in every word In borrowed time we all have heard Dreams we shared and the hope we see How much they've shaped the man in me From whispered secrets to lifes advice Telling jokes and laughs so nice Missing you each and every day In every step in the fields we'd play You're guiding hands no longer near But memories will keep you here Talking on CB radio's Just to See how far the signal goes Coffee breaks and spending time Meeting people didn't cost a dime Sunday football and evening walks Remembering All those endless talks You're old guitar still strums a tune Old records spinning in the afternoon Missing you each and every day In every step in the fields we'd play You're guiding hands no longer near But memories will keep you here Wish we could turn back the clocks In those moments that time unlocks You taught me how to stand and fight Even through the darkest night You're old flask now sits on a shelf I'm Raising a toast all by myself Lessons learned that guide my way Music you taught that I still play On holidays an empty chair Old photographs is what we share All our time that now has passed Just memories and shadows cast Missing you each and every day In every step in the fields we'd play You're guiding hands no longer near But memories will keep you here
