DAD Softly in the evening You heard a gentle call You took the hand God offered you And quietly left us all. The day you left us dad Our hearts just broke in two, The smallest part is still with us, And the biggest part with you. For the rest of our lives we will miss you dad, Our secret tears still flow Oh, how we really loved you No one will ever know. Look around your garden Lord And when he turns to smile, Put your arms around him And hold him for a while.
