This is for you...daddy....



Lyrics:

1.Verse:
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved

Chorus:
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again

2.Verse:
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

Chorus:
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again

Bridge:
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

    Gal, it's been exactly 2 wks since u left.. It has been really difficult without u.. Till today, I still alternate between calmness & devastation.. acceptance & denial.. Sometimes everything seems normal and it still feels so unreal.. feels that you're still around.. It is sad to know I won't be reading any more updates on your blog anymore.. sad to know you won't be reading my journal and leaving me messages.. Sad to know we can no longer yak on the phone, leave each other text msgs, or surprise/sweet voicemails... Sad to know we can no longer meet for teh halia, prata, rojak, mudpie, & all the yummy treats that u love... But the saddest of all is to know that I've really lost my one and only closest sister & confidante in my life.. my one and only real, bestest friend whom I can be everything in front of and who is everything to me... I miss you very much gal.. I still wish this is all just a bad dream that I will one day wake up from, and I can hear your voice again and see your smiling self..

    We comforted each other on A's sudden departure, and your friend LP's.. Now who will comfort me on yours..? I can't do this alone.. I don't think anyone can or will ever truly understand the pain that I'm going through... Gal, I need you to help me be strong, stay strong.. More importantly, you must help Aunty & your family.. You must help us all in this very difficult time...

    Wherever you are, I hope & pray that you are happy, well & safe.. I hope you get to meet A and LP in your world too.. Please know that you will always remain dearly in my heart... I really miss you very much...
