In the waters of your memory
reflects the image of your face
and I feel the loss more keenly
as I watch those waters race
t'ward that day of deep remembrance,
another year that's come and gone,
for I miss your love and caring
as the stream of time flows on.
You were always there to shield me
from the storm clouds and the pain.
Standing on the bridge of memory
I feel your love again.
As the waters keep on flowing
to an everlasting sea,
my dear Dad, I'm looking forward
to the time you're back with me.
For I know a time is coming
when cruel death will be undone,
then you and I, dear Father,
will dance into the sun,
and the river of sweet waters
will return you to my side.
I will wait here on the shoreline
for the turning of the tide.
