I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU, BABYGIRL" ALL THIS HAPPENS WITH MY EYES CLOSED LIKE IT’S ALMOST A DREAM BUT THEN I OPEN MY EYES AND I SEE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL HE'S STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WITH HIS HAND IN MINE HELPING ME LEADING ME GUIDING ME DOWN THE ROAD CALLED LIFE THAT HE NEVER GOT TO LIVE HIMSELF I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE A LITTLE GIRL STANDING AT HER DADDY'S SIDE I LOOK UP BUT NOBODY IS THERE I LOOK BACK AT THE MIRROR AND I SEE A WOMAN STANDING NEXT TO HER FATHER I LOOK OVER AND SEE MY DADDY SMILING HE GIVES ME A HUG AS I CLOSE MY EYES AND REST MY HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER I TELL HIM "I LOVE YOU DADDY, I WISH YOU WERE HERE" HE TELLS ME "I LOVE YOU TOO BABYGIRL AND I AM ALWAYS HERE WITH YOU" "I AM ALWAYS HERE IN YOUR HEART, AND ALWAYS IN YOUR MIND" I LOOK UP AND OPEN MY EYES AND HE'S GONE JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME HE LEFT ONLY THIS TIME I KNOW HE'S STILL WITH ME.
