Oh my father, why did you have to go?
Can you tell me who will be my special hero?
Oh my father, I want to see you enjoying your latte,
In the same way you always do,
It would be great to see you every day,
So you can wipe my tears away,
Oh my father, don't leave me here alone to cry,
It's impossible for me to get by,
In the absence of you,
Oh my father, I want you to know I love you sky high,
-Please know that I will never forget you,
-In the midst of my tears, I am blue.
