I Miss You Daddy

You never said I’m leaviung You never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why.

A million times I needed you, A million times I cried.

If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place That no one could ever till.

Sleep on Daddy, take your rest.

AT THE GRAVESIDE

Precious Memories

Precious memories, unseen angels

Sent from somewhere to my soul

How they linger, ever near me And the sacred past unfolds

Chorus

Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness, of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold

Choruses

Meet Me By The River

Some Sweet Day

By & By When The Morning Comes

We Shall Have A Grand Time

Farther Along No Grave Can Hold My Body Down

Precious father, loving mother Fly across the lonely years And old home scenes, of my childhood In fond memory appears

Chorus

I remember, mother prayin’ Father too, on bended knee

The sun is sinkin’, shadows fallin’

But their prayers still follow me
