The daughter he lost
Years ago
He'll see today
But he don't know
Will she reject him
Turn him away
Or just look at hime
With nothing to say
They see each other
Their eyes meet
A friendly hello
Is how they greet
They come together
With a gentle hug
She pulls his heart strings
With a gentle tug
Twenty seven years
Since her birth
Twenty seven years
He's felt the hurt
Finally united
For the first time
It will take a while
Before things are fine
Both are willing to try
To forget the years apart
Both of them realize
The heart is the place to start
Little by little they tell each ther
What's happened through the years
Silently both of them
Have shed their own tears
So as they try to build
A father and daughter bond
They know the lost years
Are forever gone
But they also know
That the years in front of them
Can help to bridge the past
Of the years they lost back then
They know it won't be easy
But they both want to try
With a vow to each other
To never ever say goodbye
