Daddy's not here
To wipe away your tears
Make you laugh
Or fight all your frears
Daddy's not here
To make you smile
He went to war
But just for a while
Daddy's not here
To protect you now
I'll make him return
Some way Some how
Daddy's not here
He'll come back someday
Weather it takes years
Or if it's today
Daddy's not here
To sing you to sleep
And If he dies
My daughter, don't weep
Daddy's not here
He's watching over you
He made it to heaven
And hopes we will too
Daddy's not here
To tuck you into bed
I'll say goodnight for him
As you lay down your head
My dear sleep in peace
As your father looks down
Defended in heaven
By the one with the crown

"daddy's not here"

Because it brings and speaks the mesage when he wa here and when he wasn't
