Dad (I Miss You) is a song about love, loss, and the ache of missing someone who shaped your world. It’s about the memories that stay, the words left unsaid, and the quiet moments where their absence feels the loudest. With raw emotion and a heartfelt melody, this song captures the depth of grief and the unbreakable bond between a child and their father.
At its core, Dad (I Miss You) is more than a song . . it’s a tribute. It’s for anyone who’s ever lost someone they love, who carries their presence in the little things, and who knows that even though they’re gone, they’re never truly far away.
Dad, I finally got your message, loud and clear
All those words you whispered when you were near
I listened back then, but now I really hear
Your voice guiding me through every year
You’d say, “Stay positive, don’t let dark thoughts win
What you put in is what you get in the end”
Life’s a canvas, paint it bright
Set your sights high, reach for the light
“Home’s where the heart is, don’t let it break
Keep it safe, for your own sake”
Home is where the heart stays true
Don’t let anyone change your view
Love’s a choice we make each day
In every little way
All the times you said you were proud of me
Those words now play like a melody
Even when I stumbled, you saw me try
Your words lifted me, kept me high
You’d remind me, “Love’s a choice we make each day
In how we live, in what we say”
Through all my ups and downs, your wisdom stayed
In every step, your voice portrayed
I wish I could turn back time
Teach younger me all your lines
You were wiser than I knew
Your love and words saw me through
Home is where the heart stays true
Don’t let anyone change your view
Love’s a choice we make each day
In every little way
All your words, they echo still
In my heart, they always will
Dad, I finally got your message, clear
Your wisdom guides me, year by year
Dad, I wish you were here
(I miss you)
