Herb

To the world you were Herb, a hard-working man

But to me you were Dad, holding onto my hand

When I look back on the years of growing up

Every single memory is overflowing my cup

We’d grab the skateboards, or go for a jog

Playing catch in the yard, cutting through the morning fog

From swinging a tennis racket to a simple bike ride

Everything I did, you were right by my side

Oh Dad, I really miss you, I just wish you were here

It’s hard to see tomorrow through the middle of a tear

I love you so much, and I know you're at rest

But living down here without you is the hardest test

I know God has a reason, up beyond the blue

But He called you home so soon, and I just miss you

We’d walk the flea markets and the weekend yard sales

Looking at the car shows, hearing old engine tales

Packing up a picnic or grabbing food in a booth

Every moment with you was the joy of my youth

We’d wait out in the woods on a deer hunting trip

Or go out shopping, just letting the hours slip

From the restaurants we loved to tossing a frisbee, we ran

You were a loving father and an all-around great man

Oh Dad, I really miss you, I just wish you were here

It’s hard to see tomorrow through the middle of a tear

I love you so much, and I know you're at rest

But living down here without you is the hardest test

I know God has a reason, up beyond the blue

But He called you home so soon, and I just miss you

Now I walk these same streets, but I'm walking alone

Wishing I could hear your voice on the telephone

I carry your lessons in everything I do

Because everything I did growing up was with you

Oh Dad, I really miss you, I just wish you were here

It’s hard to see tomorrow through the middle of a tear

I love you so much, and I know you're at rest

But living down here without you is the hardest test

I know God has a reason, up beyond the blue

But He called you home so soon, and I just miss you

Yeah, God called you home so soon, and I just miss you
