What If?

What if that day 10 years ago,
was only just a dream?
And all the sorrow that we shed
was just a mistake it seems.

What if you were really here
at your daughter’s side?
To walk her down the aisle
The day she became a bride.

And what if you were here
To guide your only son,
To give him all your wisdom
As a young man he’s become.

What if you were really here
And I could feel your warm embrace?
Would it take away the loneliness,
Which my heart it has incased?

What if you had been here
To hold us up in our defeats?
And what if you’d of been here
To cheer at each hurdle we would meet?

And what if you were here,
To take away our pain?
Would we all be different?
Or maybe just a bit more sane?

What if you had not left us,
In such a hurried haste?
Would you know the impact
Upon our hearts you placed?

What if we’d of had the chance
To have you just one more day?
What is it that our hearts,
To you… would want to say?

Please my love don’t leave me
Stay and grow old with me tomorrow,
Daddy we love you, please don’t go
How will we rise above the sorrow?
