Dear Simon

Dear Simon
You don't know me
But you know my daughter well
She's been writing letters to you
She's got so much to tell
And I thought that it was time
To write a letter of my own
You came into our family
So welcome to our home

You've been there for Evi
Now will you be there for me
If I tell you all my stories
Everything I try to be
The things I should remember
So much I can't forget
The things I've done I'm proud of
But so much that I regret

So will you tell my daughter
All that matters in the end
I'll always love her as a father
But that doesn't always mean
I'm her best friend

Dear Simon
You don't know me
So I want to tell you more
How sometimes I can feel certain
But sometimes I'm so unsure
And I want you to know
The most important thing to me
How I long to be her roots
How I long to set her free

Sometimes the best that I can do
Just doesn't seem enough
When the world is on my shoulders
And the road ahead is rough
But I'll always keep on trying
So don't let her forget
I may have many years behind me
But I'm not finished yet

So will you tell my daughter
All that matters in the end
I'll always love her as a father
But that doesn't always mean
I'm her best friend

So will you tell my daughter
All that matters in the end
I'll always love her as a father
But that doesn't always mean
I'm her best friend
I'm her best friend
