If I Could Turn Back Time


Oh how I wish I could turn back time To when you were still here, still alive I miss you more and more each day And nothing will ever be the same I can hardly cope with this pain And it seems like everything has changed I feel so sad and lonely tonight Hanging on with all my might I knew one day you would be gone But when and how it happened is just wrong It is not fair that you had to die While others have fathers who are still alive If I could turn back time to the last time I saw you I would say i love you, hug you, and never leave you But I can't turn back time And I have to live life without you here by my side Gotta deal with you not being here And have to live through the tears I hope you are at peace up there in heaven You will never be forgotten
