Where Are You? Awakened by that beautiful scent As it caught me in a spell In my heart it placed a dent That old familiar smell Looking around frantically I didn’t know what to do Asking myself painfully Where, Where, Where are you?
The joys of laughter, giggling The voices of children playing The sound of their tiny feet No other sound could compete Running all of their fears behind The thought of her enters my mind Binding those feeling together like glue Where, Where, Where are you?
Daddy, Daddy, a tiny voice cried Daddy, I need you, it got louder Barriers around me, to break I tried Fighting, struggling, I couldn’t see her Daddy, where are you? The voice was fading I heard it again, this time very slow I’m right here! I’m right ... My tears began flowing My baby, my baby, oh please don’t go |
All Alone Without You (Dedicated to Mtima and La’Tisha) I never knew how much you meant to me, And I never know how lonely it could be, But I’m older now and I understand, That you are always there, And you’ll always care... Chorus To have you as a father, Lifts my body higher, With your love and tender care, I shall always hold you dear, And when I’m happy... I can always think of daddy, But I’m all alone without you... Where are you? I’d often ask myself, I heard your voice, but it slowly disappeared, Awakened by your scent, as it caught me in a spell, That old familiar smell; had me thinking again... Chorus To have you as a father, Lifts my body higher, With your love and tender care, I shall always hold you dear, And when I’m happy... I can always think of daddy, But I’m all alone without you... As I’m older now, I can make my own decisions, With you at my side, I’d have endless inspirations, So I called out your name, you stood strongly at my side, Now I’m set to move on, and I’m glowing with pride... That’s why I’m lucky... Chorus To have you as a father, Lifts my body higher, With your love and tender care, I shall always hold you dear, And when I’m happy... I can always think of daddy, But I’m all alone without you... Being all alone in this cold and cruel world, How lonely I would be if I, couldn’t count on daddy, And through all his pain and strife, he’ll make it through the night, So I wanna be, as strong as my daddy, That’s why I’m so lucky... Chorus To have you as a father, Lifts my body higher, With your love and tender care, I shall always hold you dear, And when I’m happy... I can always think of daddy, But I’m all alone without you...

To Daddy With Love To have you as a father Lifts my body higher With your love and tender care I shall always hold you dear In the day and in the night I will always hold you tight When I look into the mirror all I can see Is the reflection of myself with my father in me When I am happy All I can think of is daddy When you die I shall always remember you when I cry By La'Tisha (daughter) June, 2005 |
