All I need is my Daddy
I remember when I was three
my dad was very funny
I was always happy as I can be
and never thought to be lonely
It was my third birthday
memories were to stay
because my daddy was there
and proud to be my father
I always eat with him
it was almost like a dream
on one plate we always eat
two serves of rice and a large meat
There are lots of good memories
though we only had three years
but those times are forever be
treasured and in my heart will never flee
There was also a time
when you visited my mother and I
it was in my mother’s office
I wanted to give you a hug and a kiss
But instead I cried
and I don’t know why
maybe I was scared?
Scared that you were there?
I really don’t know why
now I have to say with a sigh
I’m so sorry that I cried
when all you wanted was to say hi
When I start studying
I learned the word jealousy
I tried to look through it
kept thinking that was the key
But my friends kept introducing me
to their fathers they love so dearly
I tried to smile so they can’t see
the fear in me and the jealousy
All those years I tried to deceive
myself so I that can live
and for my friends to believe
that I am happy and complete
But there came a time
when all I wanted was to cry
I felt that I was alone
and wished I was never born
I was so weak and can’t even breath
I want to runaway and vanish
wishing I had a shoulder to cry on
a friend or at least a companion
I never want to be lonely
but loneliness is taught by thee
somehow I came to understand
that what I needed was a Dad
I wished my dad was there with me
I needed him to comfort me
and when it comes to my biggest fears
he’ll be the one to wipe away my tears
I thought things would be very hard
but all I have to do was open my heart
now even we are apart
we are always together by heart
Now, in front of a laptop I sat
all is ready, let’s have a chat
we seem to be always on the same page
even though there’s a big difference in age
You always say that you are wretched and sad
and to let you know that makes me so mad
I want so much for you to get well
I don’t want to see you sad, can’t you tell?
I know in the past you needed me so bad
and I felt those times are just so sad
I wanted to make it up to you, dad
and I wished I’m always there by your side
I know someday it will come true
so there’s no need for you to be blue
now I will tell you something that is true
you know I really wanted to see you
Though until now that makes me nervous
too see my father that makes me curious
still I have no idea what will I do
if I’ll see your face for me is new
Will I cry like what I did back then?
Be quiet or maybe get frighten?
Or give you a hug, what do you say?
Run in circles like those in screenplay?
Or maybe in the beach we should meet
and let them see our dramatic piece
in slow motion we run into each other
it will be a romantic scene together
My only partner I want you to be
in the Santa Cruzan as my escort you’ll be
I’ll hold your hand so people will see
and they will know you belong to me
I still remember when I was little
I wanted to have the greatest title
a girl could ever have in this world
the one I desire: “Daddy’s Little Girl”
Even if I’m already thirteen
you said I have always been
and also your forever baby girl
that really made feel like a pearl
Thank you for being my stress reliever
and also for being my listener
now were a family once more
I know there’s so much in store
You know that I love you
and I know you love me too
I’d love to take care of you
I’m not a nurse, but I’m sure I’ll do
Remember:
I'm your daughter for eternity
I will love you everlastingly
my own SUPERMAN you’ll always be
And Forever You’ll be my Daddy
