Lyrics

[Verse 1]
“Daddy, I love you, time to wake up” (voice of a little girl)
Your tiny hand, warm on my cheek
You whispered soft into my ear
The world felt whole, the moment sweet

We laughed around the table, loud and bright
Shaved ice dripping, a kitchen of delight
You made a mess, I played along
In your chaos, I felt strong

[Verse 2]
We raced outside, sun in your eyes
"I beat you daddy!" (Voice of a little boy)
Sweat on my brow, pride in my chest
Losing to you, I didn't mind

We laid back in the summer glow
You on my side, the evening slow
Hair to brush, a hand to hold
You sang a tune I'd never known

[Chorus]
Every second, a hidden pearl
Every smile, a perfect world
No need for more, no need to roam
Because in your laughter—I was home

[Verse 3]
You showed me pages, colors so wide
A book you made, full of joy and pride
Each drawing told the story right
Of magic days and starry nights

We did our rituals, just us three
Handshakes, belly laughs, and glee
“Venom kisses!” you'd scream and run
Till the moonlight kissed our fun

[Bridge]
I watched you sleep, your breath so small
The nightlight danced upon the wall
Wrapped in dreams, wrapped in light
You were my peace, my guiding night

[Final Verse] (Reality Hits, voice only, sadness)
My eyes blink open—light is dim
The house is still… the walls are thin
No tiny hands, no whispered cheer
Just empty space where you were near
I miss you so
