'PAPA'
Papa, you're in my heart
Papa, you're in my soul
Papa, you'll always be in my memories
but why did you have to go?
You made by belly ache from laughing
When I was just a little girl
You calmed by tears and took away
my fears
You told me I was your world.
It's so hard without you Papa
I guess I always thought that you'd be there
When I look at your pictures, now I hope
You know how much I cared.
So Papa, if you're listening
I loved you in this world
Someday in Heaven, I'll see you again
And I'll still be your little girl.
