Daddy Can You Hear Me

Daddy are you out there?

daddy come home

daddy please meet me

daddy are you alone?

You missed all my smiles

you missed all my tears

you missed all my laughs

you missed all my fears

I hope you come find me

and see who I’ve become

you can come and see us

Tayler, Dad and Mum

do you ever think of me?

do you ever wonder?

do you know what I'm scared of

lighting or thunder?

have you forgotten

who I really am

well I’m the baby girl

that you and mum planned

would you ever love me

would you ever care

would you ever hold me

like a teddy bear

do you want to know me

do you want to see

the person who I am

and the person I’ll be

do you have a picture

that you hold in your hand

or are you too scared

to know who I am

Can you write me a letter

and tell me who you are

so I can see who my dad is

and see if he’s a star

well I hope I get to know you

and you get to know me

cause I really want to meet you

and the person you have been.
