That Father's day the sun was bright,
The morning promised joy
I felt the trill of Father's day
Like every little boy
I still am very little,
But even I could see,
That something wasn't right that day
Oh dear, what could it be?
My Daddy was away that day
And all the whole year through
My Daddy's over in Iraq
To safe-keep me & you
My Mommy told me not to cry
She told me to be strong
She knew that I would understand
Although this year proves long
That morning I woke up with glee
I knew just what to do
I had to do Daddy would
If he could be here too
I took a bath quite leisurely
I dressed my very best
Grandpa set the B-B-Q
And I did all the rest
Mommy cooked the bacon
But Grandma worked the most
She knew if she left Mommy there
We'd have to eat burnt toast
We filmed our little holiday
So Daddy could share too
We wanted him to feel at home
I think it worked, don't you?
We ate up Daddy's breakfast
I thought that it looked yummy
I think that Mommy knew to share
When she heard my hungry tummy
We opened Daddy's gifts and cards
He must like mine the best
I know if he were here this day
He'd squeeze me to his chest
Mommy said she missed him
That she wished he was at home
But if I could have talked to her
She'd know we weren't alone
I couldn't see quite clearly
But the feeling was just right
My Daddy stood beside her
And he guarded us all night
