We walk around in silence,
Feeling strange if we laugh.
We don't want to smile,
It's just too strange to do that.
I feel like it's not real.
You can't be gone, but you are.
They say you're in a better place,
So near, yet so very far.
I see you everywhere,
Your things remind me
Of this horrible nightmare.
Why did you leave us here alone?
Why couldn't you wait a little more?
But nothing is going to change this,
You are gone and not to return,
So we will go home to an empty house,
Go on in a cold, dark world,
Without you by our side,
But forever with you on our mind,
Forever in our hearts,
And that, my dear father,
Will warm us up inside.
