The Letter (To Daddy)

The bottle took you from me
When I was a child
Robbed me of the love I needed
Robbed me of a smile
I prayed the same prayer every night
Especially for you
After all
That's what little girls do

It didn't happen in an instant
It happened in God's time
You've finally gotten sober
And found some peace of mind
Yeah you faced all your demons
And they finally set you free
With your back the bottle
You're finally facing me

And Dad I want to tell you that
I'm proud of you for never giving up on us
Even in your darkest hour I could still
Feel the power of your love for us
And I know that we'll make up for lost time
As we walk through this world
I love you Daddy
Always, your baby girl
