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
Chorus
