Daddy Dearest, though long gone
in my heart you remain strong
When troubled all I need do
is lie down and dream of you
My hero, you come to smite
the monsters in the dark night

You never ever once knew
how much I learned watching you
Like the brave heart you gave me
much of you in me they see

You never understood why
your mad moments made me cry
wanting to just run away
to wait for a better day
when dark clouds would leave your face
and a smile come in its place

Dad, I did not tell you then
You were a Prince among men.
