Dad

It’s been a year already, but it feels like yesterday

Since the moment that I had to watch you slip away

I still hear your laughter, you were always making jokes

The silliest and kindest man that I have ever known

So loving and so caring, you always made me smile

I'd give anything to sit with you and talk a little while

Oh, I miss those rides with you throughout the town

Just a dad and his daughter, with the windows rolled down

Sharing all those special moments that a girl should get to have

I love you and I miss you so much, Dad

I wish you were here with me each and every day

But I'll keep you in my passenger seat while you're away

I drive past the old Shoney's where we'd stop to get a bite

Whether it was Sunday lunch or a quiet weekday night

You'd be sitting 'cross the table, making up some funny line

I didn't know back then I was in the best days of my life

Now it’s hard to see the empty space beside me in the car

But I know you're looking out for me from somewhere in the stars

Oh, I miss those rides with you throughout the town

Just a dad and his daughter, with the windows rolled down

Sharing all those special moments that a girl should get to have

I love you and I miss you so much, Dad

I wish you were here with me each and every day

But I'll keep you in my passenger seat while you're away

Three hundred sixty-five days of wishing you were here

I close my eyes and suddenly I've made it through a year

It’s hard to keep on driving when I’m missing my best friend

But I'll hold onto the memories until we meet again

Yeah, I miss those rides with you throughout the town

Just a dad and his daughter, with the windows rolled down

Sharing all those special moments that a girl should get to have

I love you and I miss you so much, Dad

I wish you were here with me each and every day

I'll keep taking rides for two until I see you again someday
