Lyrics
this song is for my father whos no longer here with us
when i got the call from the doc, i was delirious
to think that somethin so bad to my dad could even happen
when it was the day before he was so happy and juss laughin
his entire life was devoted to family
the number one thing on his mind was my mom and me
rite after that, the kids daechelle and makayla
he watched em everyday, to them he was somethin greater
than juss a grandpa, than juss a grandfather
he showed them so much love, they would never find another
he lived a life that was full of sacrifice
puttin everyone before himself juss made him feel rite
always did more for us than what was necessary
goin the extra mile now hes goin to the cemetary
i cant believe my father had passed away
guess thats why, this is what i gotta say
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
we all knoe your in a better place now
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
no more sufferin, you got a happy face now
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
good bye till the day we meet again
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
rest in peace dad, god bless, amen
from a lil boy, he thought me every thing i knoe
one was repect cuz i never call a girl a ho
two, generosity if ya got, ya gotta give
you dont need to have greed in your life juss to live
three prolly goes along with forgiveness
gotta live with understanding can i get a witness?
there was much more, but theres juss to much to list
going to him for advice, is somethin that im gonna miss
a man of few words, but a man of vision
a man full of advice, always made the rite decision
i grew up following his advice, it was so nice
his words was gold, couldnt even sell for any price
he was the biggest part of my life, no second thought
he put me in the right direction, guided me through the dark
if not for him, i wouldnt be where im at today
guess thats why, this is what i gotta say
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
we all knoe your in a better place now
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
no more sufferin, you got a happy face now
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
good bye till the day we meet again
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
rest in peace dad, god bless, amen
i still remember childhood spent with you
i was juss a lil boy, the time we spent was so true
puttin together projects for elementary side by side
goin fishin, never caught a fish, be we always tried
you taught me how to ride a bike, how to drive a car
taught me all them other things, thats gonna take me far
i always wanted to grow and make you proud of me
my own successful life guided by you for you too see
i wanted you watch me standin next to wifey
gettin married and startin my very own family
one thing from me that i wanted to give you,
was a grand son or daughter, that woulda been so cool
this holiday season is gonna be so empty
no present to or from you underneathe the christmas tree
it hurts to think that you cant be here today
guess thats why, this is what i gotta say
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
we all knoe your in a better place now
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
no more sufferin, you got a happy face now
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
good bye till the day we meet again
(now that your gone, we're gonna miss you)
rest in peace dad, god bless, amen
my fathers passing will be felt by so many people
such a big part of us, leavin the family crippled
but thas alright, we gonna keep our head up
always moving forward, never gettin fed up
cuz we knoe your in a better place now
lookin down upon us, and we'll look up without a frown
for the last couple of years, we knew u hurt inside
still livin with a smile, its the pain u tried hide
always had the best outlook for tomarrow
thoughts always happy, you were never ever filled with sorrow
hospitalized almost twice a year,
but y
