Taken Away
Daddy you could fix anything
With any tool you would find a way
I would look up to your every move
I'd always say I want to be like you
I struck out seven in my first game
I didn't see you but I knew you came
Things just haven't been quite the same
But I'm always proud to wear your name
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
Daddy your birthday is coming soon
Yeah you would've turned forty two
Late last night I sat thinking about
Where I would take you for a night out
You'd take me to that place right off I-10
It's hard to think what would have been
I miss that warm flannel as you'd hold me tight
While you told me old stories at night
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
If I could have just one more laugh
Or maybe carry me on your back
That picture on my night stand
If only I could hold your hand
Every night I bow my head and pray
I'll get to see your face again someday
I remember when you bought me my first baseball glove
It's the last thing I have left to love
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
Weren't suppose to leave me this way
With any tool you would find a way
I would look up to your every move
I'd always say I want to be like you
I struck out seven in my first game
I didn't see you but I knew you came
Things just haven't been quite the same
But I'm always proud to wear your name
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
Daddy your birthday is coming soon
Yeah you would've turned forty two
Late last night I sat thinking about
Where I would take you for a night out
You'd take me to that place right off I-10
It's hard to think what would have been
I miss that warm flannel as you'd hold me tight
While you told me old stories at night
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
If I could have just one more laugh
Or maybe carry me on your back
That picture on my night stand
If only I could hold your hand
Every night I bow my head and pray
I'll get to see your face again someday
I remember when you bought me my first baseball glove
It's the last thing I have left to love
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
Daddy why were you taken away
Can you come back just for one more day
There ain't a single word I don't care what they say
You weren't suppose to leave me this way
Weren't suppose to leave me this way
