INTRO: Daddy Why?d you have to go so soon
you never even got to hear her sing a tune for you*
Verse1:
One year ago, on December 19th
The field was covered with snow, just a small patch of green
You scored your last touchdown, but on your way home you just fell
Verse 2:
Our only daughter was born only nine months before
When you made your way through heavens front door
You missed her first Christmas and her first birthday as well
CHORUS:
Whoah ,oh, oh Daddy why'd you have to go so soon?
You never even got to hear her sing a tune for you
It don?t make it better and it won?t ever make it right, but
God must have needed you to work in heaven that night
Verse 3:
Some days are so hard Babe, I wish you were here
In the darkness its your voice I still long to hear
Like a mirror that?s broken my moods & reflections are strange
I go from sunshine and happiness
To pain and tears and emptiness
It scares me to think how in just a blink life can change pg.1

CHORUS:
Oh Oh oh, Daddy why'd you have to go so soon?
You never even got to hear her sing a tune (for you)
It don?t make it better and it won?t ever make it right, but
God must have needed you to work in heaven that night
BRIDGE:
Our beautiful girl?s growing up so fast
Her voice sounds like an Angel oooh ((rhymes with you)
We like to go to the beach where she writes her own songs
She wrote this one specially for you, how we love you

CHORUS:
ooooh Daddy why'd you have to go so soon?
You never even got to hear her sing a tune (for you)
It doesn?t make it better & it can?t ever make it right, but
God must have needed you to work in
Coda: God must have needed you to work in
God must have needed you (there) in heaven that night
