Take me back, oh memory heart
Take me to the time
When Daddy was my Daddy
And all his love was mine



Take me back remembrances
When there was childhood glee
The lovely times, the special times
When it was Dad n' me



Return to me, oh images
Flashing in my mind
Glimpses, feelings, sounds and scents
That never fade with time



Restore the sweetness that I savor
Refill my childlike heart
With warmth, security, the joy
Of hearing Daddy laugh



Oh, such wondrous grace to know
My Daddy's heart is still with me
For in leading me to heaven's Father
I'll have his love eternally



My heart is full
so grateful
