Just finished this song in time for Memorial Day. It is dedicated to all the veterans and serving military in our midst, and, of course, their families. The singer is Amber Rose, produced in Nashville by Stacy Hogan.
Hello, Daddy
Words and Music by David Sanchez
Verse 1:
I was only ten years old when Daddy passed away
On his second tour of duty, I must have cried for days
In worn out old home video, I loved to hear him laugh
And every night before my prayers, I talked to his photograph
Chorus:
Hello, Daddy
Can you hear me there in heaven
Can you see me when you look down from the sky
Are you still my guardian angel, like mamma said you'd be
Daddy, are watching over me?
Verse 2
Growing up without a dad can be hard on a kid
I fought with my mamma sometimes, but I was sorry when I did
'Cause only she could understand the void he left behind
And even on the best of days, he was always on my mind
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
In my dreams, I am falling from the sky
But I hear my father say to me, it's gonna be alright
Verse 3:
The years flew by, now here am I with my own little baby boy
He laughs just like his grandpa did, he's my pride and joy
I see my daddy's love for me in my baby's eyes of blue
And I'll be forever grateful to the man I barely knew
Last Chorus:
Hello, Daddy
I know you hear me there in heaven
I know you see me when you look down from the sky
And you're still my guardian angel like mamma said you'd be
Daddy, i know you're watching over me
Thank you, Daddy, for watching over me
