flowers on wrists and hair tied by strings
people of all ages come to laugh, dance, and sing
balloons bound to walls with streamers taped high
I would be there with you if you hadn't been forced to say goodbye
some people have it better
they're the lucky ones, they say
I believe the dad I had
taught me even more by not being able to stay
you can never come back to hold my hand
be at my wedding, have late night drives, or tell me about your band
it's times like these when I miss you most
you were my whole world and now all you are is a ghost
you were more than I asked for
although you're long gone
but the light that you put in me
will help me find where I belong
