Chappell (2009)
Been gone so longHardly ever called
Summer after summer
Fall upon fall
.....Daddy's Home
Missed this program
And missed that
Absent from life's monumental moments
So often this was a fact
.....Daddy's home
Here we are together again
Family, yet strangers
Share the same blood
But, not quite friends
.....daddy's home
If only he were present
If only for a while
We could've been closer knit
We could possibly find a reason to smile....
(As they lower the casket)
Daddy's Home
