about

A song dedicated to my late father Robert Eggers (May 15, 1957- May 7, 2011)

This is the first cut from the studio without any mixing for the most part. I really like the rawness of the recording, so I chose to put this version on instead of the more mixed upbeat version.

lyrics

I woke up this morning feeling torn apart.
I miss you here.
I miss the way your smile warmed my heart.

I told momma that we will be okay.
But I don't know how,
and I don't know why Heaven took you away.

But I know it's better where you are.
I know you're happier by far.
Doing your favorite things, praising Jesus on your knees.
I know you don't want me to cry,
but I wish we could have said "good-bye".
I know you're home.
But I wish you were here with me.

I wish you were here to see me grow.
The Little things,
the bigger things; I wish I could show you.

They say time heals
everysingle thing.
But who will he ask if he can get down on one knee?

But I know it's better where you are.
I know you're happier by far.
Doing your favorite things, praising Jesus on your knees.
I know you don't want me to cry,
but I wish we could have said "good-bye".
I know you're home.
But I wish you were here with me.

One day, we will meet again.
At Heaven's gates you'll be waiting.
I cant help anticipating...
Running into my daddy's arms
feeling warm and safe from harm.
I know you're home,
but I wish you were here with me
