My Mum is so heartbroken, my Dad he suddenly died,
He left us in a hurry, and there was no goodbye.
Now sadness does surround her, no longer she's his wife,
For he has gone forever, the true love of her life.
And I do feel so helpless, no words to her I say,
Can ease for her this burden, or brighten up her day.
I watch her as the tears do flow, she asks me for him back,
But I cannot help her now, this great gift I do lack.
I remember all the good times, the years with him I had,
Happy memories of my childhood, the days I spent with Dad.
For he was with me always, to guide me right along,
He'd laugh then at my antics, or sing to me a song.
And as I grew up older, I knew I could depend,
Upon his words of wisdom, any hurt for me he'd mend.
His smile it was a wide one, his hair was thick and grey,
Our tower of strength for us he was, until that awful day.
I really miss him also, and silently do I cry,
When gazing at the new bright star, up in the nightly sky.
But life for us it must go on, each other we must love,
I feel his arms around me, from way there up above.
We've lost him now forever, and my Mum's so alone,
With only lovely memories, that really are her own.
Yes my Mum's heart is broken, she's lonely and so sad,
Her days are now so empty, without you my dear Dad.
The emptiness surrounds her, the house is now so cold,
Her warming ray of sunshine, never more for her to hold.
My tears flow free for you dear Mum, I wish that I could do,
Just one more little miracle, and bring him back to you.
But all I really now can do, is help to share your pain,
Be right here when you need me, come sunshine or in rain
I'll wipe off all your tears dear Mum, I'll hug you really tight,
But I am never able to, make it ever right.
So when you're feeling sadness, be lonely or be blue,
Please lean down on my shoulder, I'm always here for you.
And we will then remember, the great man we both had,
He was your darling husband, and for me my dearest Dad.
