Goodnight daddy

where did you go, where are you now,
how do i find you, someone tell me how,
i went to bed and you were there,
tucked me in,and played with my hair,
read me a book and sang me song,
could of stayed in that moment all night long,
you told me you loved me and you'd always be there,
told me to always remember that life isnt fair,
you told me things wouldnt always go my way,
and that even the people who love you the most,
might someday have to go away,
you told that we all have a clock that we cannot unwind,
and that eventually every clock runs out of time,
i remember a time when each day was long,
dancing and playing, nothing could go wrong,
but those days are far behind now and life is just a mess,
you said remember the good times and just forget the rest,
well how can you forget when it hurts this bad,
I'm the only kid in my class that has lost his dad,
I feel like I'm on a train and i cant slow it down,
I dont know where its going and i cant turn it around,
but eventually it must stop for all things come to an end,
I miss you dad, you were my best friend,
one last kiss before you turn out the light,
Dad please dont go, this doesnt feel right,
just one more story before you do,
daddy leave the door cracked open, would you,
daddy i love you, please turn out the light,
Oh and daddy don't forget to stop by and tell mommy goodnight.
