Until I see you again A father's pain But time only reminds me That you are not here Your shoes are still by the front door Like you were walking like before I still hear your laughter in these walls But it fades when the silence calls Your room still holds your favorite light I cannot turn it off at night It feels like if I let it go I will lose the last piece I still know I tried to be strong Like a father should But losing you broke Until I see you again I will carry your name in the wind Every tear, every prayer It's just me wishing you were still here Until I hold you once more Beyond this life, beyond this shore I will keep your light alive in me Until I see you again My son I still wait by the door some nights Like you got lost in the fading lights I talk out loud though no one is there Just hoping somehow you still care They say you are in a better place But I still need your face Heaven feels so far away When I need you here today I will tread every breath I breathe For one more moment Until I see you again I will whisper your name in the rain Every night, every day I am searching for words I could not say Until I hear your voice once more Calling me like before I will hold on Though it is killing me Until I see you again Who can hear Every broken word from here Then listen close I'm calling you Through everything I could not do I was not ready I was not strong To live a life where you are gone But I will keep walking through the pain Just to see your face again Until I see you again I will carry this love till the end Every scar, every tear Is proof that you were always here And when my time finally comes And this broken heart is done I will run to you and finally be The man you believed in me Until I see you again
