🎵 MISS YOU, DAD
by Morning Star

[Verse 1]
When I was small, you stood so tall
My hero in blue, I had it all
Silver buttons shining bright
Your boots, your hat, your guiding light

We'd play with your radio, you'd be asleep
Laughing at voices that came through deep
At night I waited just to see
Those flashing lights come home to me

[Chorus]
You were the one who made me feel safe
Arms wide open, love in their place
I still reach out, though you're not near
Still hear your voice, still feel you here
I miss you, Dad, I miss you so
And I just wanted you to know

[Verse 2]
We climbed hills that felt so high
You’d lift me up to touch the sky
When I was scared, you’d always say
"Don’t be afraid — I’ll catch you, okay?"

We walked on beaches, side by side
Your hand in mine, the rising tide
The world was simple, warm, and true
I never felt more loved than by you

[Chorus]
You were the one who made me feel safe
Arms wide open, love in their place
I still reach out, though you're not near
Still hear your voice, still feel you here
I miss you, Dad, I miss you so
And I just wanted you to know

[Bridge]
Time moved on and something changed
I felt your silence like a wave
The day I needed you the most
You didn’t come, you felt too close
To someone you’d tried to forget
But I’m still here—did you forget?

[Verse 3]
There were tears I never let you see
All the birthdays you missed with me
The laughter you’d have loved to hear
The growing up, the falling tears

I’ve held on tight to what we had
Still just a girl who loves her dad
And though the years have built a wall
My love for you outgrows it all

[Final Chorus]
You were the one who made me feel safe
Arms wide open, love in their place
I still reach out, though you're not near
Still hear your voice, still feel you here
I miss you, Dad, I miss you so
And I just wanted you to know

[Outro – softly]
If you can hear me where you are…
I still believe you’re not that far
So catch me, please — like you used to do
Because Dad…
I still love you.
