Whisper.......

Daddy can't you hear the clock that's ticking on the wall?
Look at all the pictures that are hung up down the hall
Remember all the laughter and the tears that we have shared?
Remember how you held me tight and kissed away my tears?

Daddy can't you hear the clock that's ticking on the wall?
The pictures changed and I grew up, I was no longer small
Remember when you told me that I filled your life so full?
And always made me feel so special, life was wonderful

Daddy you can't hear the clock that's ticking on the wall?
The pictures that are hung up now are you when I was small
There is no one to hold me tight and kiss away the tears
You left me for a better place but I still feel you near

Daddy I can hear the clock that's ticking on the wall
It was so very long ago, aren't memories wonderful?
I feel your arms around me as you kiss away my tears
I hear you whisper softly "that's my little girl so dear."
