Juanita Du Plessis – A Letter To Daddy

Daddy, there were so many things I’ve wanted to ask you before you left
Daddy, I never even had the time to learn to know you as my friend
But daddy, It’s all those lonely nights I’ve cried
myself to sleep in my bed
That’s when I prayed to God above to bring my daddy home
Sometimes, life treated us so badly without you daddy to dry the tears
But mama was there to ease away all the pain and all the fears
Daddy, I know up there in heaven you can listen to what I’m saying
I need the answers to all the questions that I’m praying

Why did you leave so soon
Did you fly on a golden moon
And was there no words to tell
Or even just a wishing well
Mama said you won’t be back to stay
So I got down on my knees and prayed
And ask the Lord above, to bring my daddy home

Daddy, I really hope you found the peace that you were always searching for
Daddy, I know you’ll be waiting there for me, at heavens door
Daddy, I’ll be keeping all the memories so safe, here in my heart
Now I ask the Lord above to take my daddy home

Why did you leave so soon
Did you fly on a golden moon
And was there no words to tell
Or even just a wishing well
Now I know you won’t be back to stay
So I get down on my knees and pray
And ask the Lord above to take my daddy home
Now I ask the Lord above to take His angel home
