Daddy's Still Alive

Oh momma, you don’t have to cry!
So wipe the tears away from your eyes.
Because your love will make him stay
And never let him go.
Daddy’s still alive in my soul!

Oh sister, don’t you fall apart
For his memory will remain in your heart!
And his presence will be known
To all of those who cared.
Daddy’s still alive in my eyes!

And don’t you forget
All he’s said and done,
And all those battles
That he’s won.
For Daddy’s love will lead us on 
In the days ahead.
Daddy’s still alive in my eyes!

Oh brother, don’t you see him here?
For he’s standing oh, so very near!
He’s standing right in front of me
And he’s pointing the way.
Daddy’s still alive today!
Daddy’s still alive in my eyes!
