Wish You Could See Me Now

[Intro] (Verse 1) I remember those days, movin' house to house, Tryin' to find a place, always feelin' like a mouse, Lost my dad too soon, left me all alone, Teenage years were rough, felt it to the bone. Didn't have the cash to pay my school dues, Had to hustle hard, had to pay my own blues, But I kept pushin' on, thinkin' 'bout your smile, Wish you could see me now, Dad, it's been a while. [Chorus] Missin' you, Dad, every single day, Your absence left a mark that never fades away, But I’m standin' tall, built a life from the ground, Wish you could see me now, wish you were around. (Verse 2) Now I got a home, a place we call our own, No more rentin' spaces, no more feelin' alone, I got a wife and kids, they’re my pride and joy, Tryin' to be the man you’d want for your boy. I watch my daughter smile, graduation day, Wish you were here, Dad, to see her walk this way, You missed my own day, but I know you’re lookin' down, Smilin' at the man who’s turned his life around. [Chorus] Missin' you, Dad, every single day, Your absence left a mark that never fades away, But I’m standin' tall, built a life from the ground, Wish you could see me now, wish you were around. [Bridge] [Guitar Melody] [Bridge] All those sleepless nights, wonderin' if I’d make it through, Your memory kept me strong, Dad, everything I do, Is a tribute to your love, to the lessons that you gave, Even though you’re gone, it’s your strength that I crave. (Verse 3) Now I’m watchin' my kids, givin' them the world, Wantin' you to see, how their lives have unfurled, Got my daughter’s hand, as she takes the stage, Feelin' both pride and sorrow, turnin' another page. Dad, I hope you know, every step I take, Is inspired by your love, all the dreams we’d make, Wish you could be here, but I feel you in my heart, Guidin' me through life, even though we’re worlds apart. [Chorus] Missin' you, Dad, every single day, Your absence left a mark that never fades away, But I’m standin' tall, built a life from the ground, Wish you could see me now, wish you were around. (Outro) So here's to you, Dad, the man I strive to be, Your spirit’s in my soul, your love has set me free, I’ll keep movin' forward, with you by my side, Forever in my heart, you’re my eternal guide. [Instrumental] [Fade Out] [End] [Chorus] Missin' you, Dad, every single day, Your absence left a mark that never fades away, But I’m standin' tall, built a life from the ground, Wish you could see me now, wish you were around. (Outro) So here's to you, Dad, the man I strive to be, Your spirit’s in my soul, your love has set me free, I’ll keep movin' forward, with you by my side, Forever in my heart, you’re my eternal guide. [Instrumental] [Fade Out] [End]
