Daddy can you see me singing here Can you see me from where you are What's it like in heaven Do they serve wine and caviar You come to me in my dreams Your presence strong and clear I only wish you could talk to me And take away my fears, my fears Life hasn't been the same Since you've gone away No, life hasn't been the same Wish you'd been here to stay Life hasn't been the same Since you've gone away Life hasn't been the same Wish you'd been here to stay I have a family of my own now A girl and two little boys I wish you could have known them They sure make a lot of noise, a lot of noise So much has happened here There's so much to say I hope some day to see you again For that I can only pray Life hasn't been the same Since you've gone away No, life hasn't been the same Wish you'd been here to stay Life hasn't been the same Since you've gone away Life hasn't been the same I wish you'd been here to stay I wish they could've known you I wish it could've been some other way I wish you could talk to me Oh there's so much to say Life hasn't been the same Since you've gone away Life hasn't been the same
