Writing a song to my father

I'm writing a song to my father, the best father a girl can have
I love the memories of him, the memories of my family too
We had so much fun and love
I remember the day we was out at the sea
We caught some crabs and a little fish
The fish was only, only mine
I loved it and felt the love of my father all inside
I took it home in a little glass called it mine and showed my mom
I remember the love of my father and I know he still loves me too
I remember all the happy moments and feel the love inside me still
I remember the you drove me to the town
We had a chocolate in our car
It was cold and frozen but you cave me a piece anyway
I said: It can't eat that, it's all frozen too
He said it tasted very good, I should have one and I loved too
I felt the love of him inside
I can remember the day you died
I told my mom I wish I never woke to the shocking news she had
But I still know you are the best father, the father a girl can have
I know you still love me and I know that you are in my heart
I guess you sit on a sky, watching down from God above
To look at me and all my choices
I know you just want me good
I'm sure you're proud of my choices
I feel the advices you give me too
Not to drive to fast or date dumb boys
To do my homework and be nice
I know you love me and my brother
I know he misses you too
I wish you never died the day
I wish you could be here and hear my praise
You never was there in my graduation, you never saw how I cried
I cried my tears just for you, I wished you was there all the time
I can't remember what they said, but I can remember love I felt
I think about you every day and I know you are there in my heart
Giving advices and showing love
But I cry at night when thing you'll come home again
I know I'll never say the last words, never say goo bye to you
Never tell you how much I love you, never to say good night
I still feel sorry for the day, the last day I never got to say bye bye
I miss you very very much, but flying on your wings of love
I don't more greed or tears,'cause I you still are mine
