I thought I heard your voice yesterday
When I turned around to say
That I love you then I realized
And it was just my mind
Playing tricks on me
Your mom took you from me 17 years ago, when you were just 1 year old. It
tore me up inside not knowing where you were, not knowing what you even looked
like, never knowing if you're happy or if you're sad. Sometimes I think I see
you out of the corner of my eye. I think I hear you calling out "Daddy wait for
me, I need you".
Every time when the phone rings
I pray to God it's you.
Every time I hear our phone ringing, somewhere deep inside my
heart I hear you say "Daddy pick up the phone it's me, your baby girl, Please
pick up the phone daddy, I really need you".
I miss you (I miss you)
There's no other way to say it
And I, and I can deny it
I miss you (I miss you)
It's so easy to see
I miss you and me
I wasn't able to be there to watch you growing up. I wish I
could have been there when you took your first steps, when you said my name the
first time, I wasn't there. I can never get those precious moments back, they
are gone forever. I miss you, I think about you every day of my life. I have a
big empty space inside of me that left when your mom took you from me.
I've got together my senses to get there
I've been through worse kinds of weather
If it's over now, be strong
Can't believe that you're gone
I have had to put the pain of losing you deep inside where
nobody can see it, but it is still there. It will be there until the day that I
can hold you in my arms and never let you go. I look for you every time I open
the door, hoping and wishing that it will somehow be you that is knocking on my
door to tell me you're home, and you are never leaving again.
I love you Jessica
I pray that one day you will find me.
**UPDATE**
