Sitting here in this room,
Trying to write this tune.
Then my mind goes blank,
It's like the world has gone kaboom.
All I want to say is,
You're always by my side.
What comes after that,
I really can't decide.
My dad, you were my friend,
My dad, you were the best,
My dad, you were my hero.
Better than all the rest.
You were always there,
Never let me down.
Now I've got you by my side,
You'll always be around.
You're an angel in heaven now,
A shining star at night.
I didn't see you on your final day,
But I do know, you'd have put up a fight.
I wished you back here so so much,
I wished with all my mite.
But then there was the hard bit,
It was me that almost stopped the fight.
My dad, you were my friend,
My dad, you were the best,
My dad, you were my hero.
Better than all the rest.
You were always there,
Never let me down.
Now I've got you by my side,
You'll always be around.
Now I have your angel,
Always by my side.
Can never go away,
It's with me for the ride.
Hurt so much when I had it done,
But the pain I went through,
Compared to you,
Was none.
My dad, you were my friend,
My dad, you were the best,
My dad, you were my hero.
Better than all the rest.
You were always there,
Never let me down.
Now I've got you by my side,
You'll always be around.
