Chappell (2009)

Been gone so long
Hardly 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
