It's been a year daddy
I really really miss you
Mommy says you're safe now
In a beautiful place called heaven
We had you favorite dinner tonight
And I ate it all up

Even though I don't like carrots
I learned how to swim this summer
And I can even open my eyes when I'm underwater
Can you see me?
I miss you daddy

It's been 5 years daddy
I'm in 5th grade now
I really like computers
But, math is hard
Mommy let's me sleep in one of your t-shirts

I think it still smells like you
I don't need to sleep with the light on anymore
I'm trying not to cry daddy
But it still hurts
I really miss you daddy
Can you see me?

It's been 10 years daddy
I've started high school
I made the honor roll
I hope you're proud of me
I'm also on the soccer team
Can you see me on the field?

I've started thinking about colleges
Do you think I can be a doctor?
I know you'll be there with me when I walk down the aisle
I try not to be sad

But it hurts
I hope you know you're my hero
I love you so much
Can you see me?

It's been 15 years daddy
I'm finishing college
I got into med school
I really want to help people
You've always inspired me
I met a nice guy

Who's really special to me
I think you would really like him
We talk about our life together
Mom says he's a lot like you

I think of you every day
I'm still sad
But you make me strong
Can you see me?

I miss you daddy
I really miss you daddy
I miss you daddy
I miss you daddy
