A Letter To Daddy

Juanita Du Plessis · Other Songs - Juanita Du Plessis

Daddy, there were so many things I've wanted to ask you before you left

Daddy, I never even had the time to learn to know you as my friend

But daddy, It's all those lonely nights I've cried

myself to sleep in my bed

That's when I prayed to God above to bring my daddy home

Sometimes, life treated us so badly without you daddy to dry the tears

But mama was there to ease away all the pain and all the fears

Daddy, I know up there in heaven you can listen to what I'm saying

I need the answers to all the questions that I'm praying



Why did you leave so soon

Did you fly on a golden moon

And was there no words to tell

Or even just a wishing well

Mama said you won't be back to stay

So I got down on my knees and prayed

And ask the Lord above, to bring my daddy home



Daddy, I really hope you found the peace that you were always searching for

Daddy, I know you'll be waiting there for me, at heavens door

Daddy, I'll be keeping all the memories so safe, here in my heart

Now I ask the Lord above to take my daddy home



Why did you leave so soon

Did you fly on a golden moon

And was there no words to tell

Or even just a wishing well

Now I know you won't be back to stay

So I get down on my knees and pray

And ask the Lord above to take my daddy home

Now I ask the Lord above to take His angel home
