I don't really know how to start this. I hope you're doing alright. I hope life gives you more good days than bad. I think about calling sometimes. Then I wonder if I'd even know what to say. I still tell people you're my dad. I still say it with pride. I just never expect How much the distance changes things. The years keep moving. The miles keep growing. I don't even see it happening. Until I realise I know less about you than I did before. I wonder if we'd recognise each other Outside a photograph. Would we know just what to say, Or let the moment pass You're still the man I look up to. That never changes in my heart. I'm just scared the distance Turns you into my forgotten hero. I wonder what your voice sounds like today. I wonder if your laugh stays the same. I wonder what stories you carry now... The ones I never get to hear. I don't forget because I want to. I forget because life keeps moving. And every memory stands a little further away When we don't make new ones together. I don't want to wake up one day Knowing your face. But not the man behind it. I wonder if we'd recognise each other Outside a photograph. Would we know just what to say, Or let the moment pass You're still the man I look up to. That never changes in my heart. I'm just scared the distance Turns you into my forgotten hero. If tomorrow gives us one conversation. I hope we don't waste it. I don't need answers. I don't need apologies. I just don't want my memories To become the only place Where I still know my dad. I wonder if we'd recognise each other Outside a photograph. Would we know just what to say, Or let the moment pass You're still the man I look up to. That never changes in my heart. I'm just scared the distance Turns you into my forgotten hero.
