Dear Papa Lyrics

I did something cool yesterday

I thought about telling you about it

I could see it so clearly

You saying how proud you were of me

Like you always did before

But the excitement faded away

And a punch to the gut took its place

Cause it's been 6 months since you went away

I hope you're proud

I hope that you're laughing and dancing in the clouds

Oh I hope that you're happy now

The holidays never felt this way

But I guess they won't ever be the same

I'm trying not to think

About all the things that you keep missing

But it's really hard

We're trying to be strong

Cause we know that's what you'd want

But it's only been 12 months since you went away

We hope you're proud

We hope that you're laughing and dancing in the clouds

Oh we hope that you're happy now

Although you're not here

We'll remember your memories

They'll always stay with me

Cause I see you in our jokes

I see you in the handprints

I see you in the places you took us grandkids

The sidelines of our games, our performances, our plays

I see you I see you I see you

I see you in the rose you gave me when I was younger

I see you in my mom and my other family members

In the red white and blue, the pranks you'd pull too

I see you I see you I see you

I see you with a sign

I see you all the time

I see you I see you I see you I see you

I wanna see you I wanna see you

Again again

We're angry

We're sad

We've loved and we're glad

But we wanna see you

We wanna see you

Again again again

I'm angry and I'm sad but I know I'll see you again

Again, Again

I'll see you, We'll see you, Again

I'll see you, We'll see you, Again

Cause I did something cool yesterday

I'm gonna tell you all about it one day
