Alive In Me (Song For Daddy) – Shelly E. Johnson
Nghệ sĩ: Shelly E. Johnson
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
It’s been twenty years since you went away
So why does it feel like yesterday ?
They said time would heal my wounds
So why does it still sting missing you ?
So much has changed ...but you’re still here in so many ways
Every time I hold my baby girl, I feel your arms
Every time I watch her laugh and twirl, I see your smile
I just wish that she could see it too
Oh, how sweet it was being loved by you
Every time I board another plane, it takes me back
To all the family trips that we would take, the fun we had
It breaks my heart to think of all you’ve missed
But your heart has been beating in me ever since
Cause you are alive in me
I’m four years old standing on your feet
We’re dancing around so wild and free
It’s time for bed, you snuggle next to me
We talk about our day as I drift off to sleep
So much has changed ...but you’re still here in so many ways
Every time I pay the water bill, I see your desk
And think of how you cared for us so well, so selfless
You worked so hard you treated us like queens
When you were there, we never had to worry about a thing
Every time I trim my Christmas tree, it takes me back
To 1989 on Christmas Eve, I hear your laugh
It breaks my heart to think of all you’ve missed
But your heart has been beating in me ever since
Cause you are alive in me
There are fewer things more precious in this world
Than knowing what it means to be a Daddy’s Girl
Every time I see snow fall again, my world stands still
You and me are building a snowman, sledding down that hill
Though our time was nowhere near enough
I am who I am today because of how you loved
And someday I’ll come running through those gates and hold you tight
And thank you for the million little ways you changed my life
But until then, these memories I’ll keep
Forever in my heart, you’ll always be
Cause you are alive in me
Forever you are alive in me.
