Dad,
i'm going to miss you when you are gone,
so i'll tell you i love you while you're here.
so hug me one more time and hold me strong;
to breath the smell of cigars when you're near.
i'll miss knowing you're always behind me,
i'll miss laughing at all your stupid jokes,
and i'll miss the way you always remind me
stand tough in the face of life's harsher stokes.
i'm powerless without you beside me
just as you too must feel lying by me now
sitting alone in the bed you made me
in with that nagging feeling eating you out.
so i'll just repeat, since we don't have too long,
i'm going to miss you when you are gone,
Dad....
