Willie

The morning sun comes shining through the blinds

I reach for the routine we left behind

I miss the quiet hours of my daily care

Just checking in and knowing you were there

You spent your whole life guiding every soul

But being my dad was your greatest role

Oh, Willie, I'm just trying to be strong

But the days without you feel a little long

A faithful pastor, a husband so true

The absolute best father I ever knew

I love you and I miss you every day

Please send a little of your strength my way

I still see that paper box upon the table

We’d sit and talk as long as you were able

Sharing sweet donuts while the time slipped past

I’d give the world to make those mornings last

I tended to you when your steps grew slow

It was the highest honor I will ever know

Oh, Willie, I'm just trying to be strong

But the days without you feel a little long

A faithful pastor, a husband so true

The absolute best father I ever knew

I love you and I miss you every day

Please send a little of your strength my way

You preached the word and gave the weary rest

You gave our family everything you had to give

My hands feel empty now that you have passed

But the lessons that you taught me will always live

Oh, Willie, I'm just trying to be strong

But the days without you feel a little long

A faithful pastor, a husband so true

The absolute best father I ever knew

I love you and I miss you every day

Please send a little of your strength my way

Yeah, send a little of your strength my way
