There's a quiet out the front door that I can't ignore

Looking at the empty yard where we would work before

I can still see you, Daddy, with dirt on your hands

A kind and caring father, a hard-working man

We'd spend our time together just fixing up the ground

Now there's a heavy silence settling around

I love you more than you ever knew

I'm still finding pieces of my heart wrapped up in you

I miss you more and more with each passing day

And I’m so sorry you had to go that way

You were a loving father, steady and true

I love you more than you ever knew

I leave your old tools sitting right where they belong

And listen to the wind sing a lonely country song

You poured your gentle spirit into everything you grew

There was so much quiet strength inside of you

Every single project, every little job we’d start

Built a strong foundation deep inside my heart

I love you more than you ever knew

I'm still finding pieces of my heart wrapped up in you

I miss you more and more with each passing day

And I’m so sorry you had to go that way

You were a loving father, steady and true

I love you more than you ever knew

It breaks my spirit how the ending came to be

It wasn't fair to someone who gave so selflessly

But I can't change the past, I can only stand right here

And water the yard we loved with another falling tear

I love you more than you ever knew

I'm still finding pieces of my heart wrapped up in you

I miss you more and more with each passing day

And I’m so sorry you had to go that way

You were a loving father, steady and true

I love you, Daddy, more than you ever knew
