Nothing can bring tears to a man's eyes
Like the ones that fall when his child dies
If only he could have prevented it
Life's not worth living, if only he could quit
She brought such happiness into his life
Now that she's gone he's torn with strife
A child shouldn't be the first to die
Leaving a father crying and asking God why
In his eyes she could do no wrong
Her death left him alone and trying to be strong
She was his little girl, his source of pride
He misses her so much and he's empty inside
My daughter, my angel, death took you away
But in my heart and memories you live everyday
I know that someday we'll be together again
God please give me the strength to go on until then
