Daddy Won't be Coming Home

The morning started out like any other
They said their goodbyes at the gate
He said not to worry if he’s not on time
He said that he might be late.

She kissed their child asleep in her bed
And told her it’s time to arise
She said that today was Thursday
And soon the school bus would arrive

I miss him, they miss him, we miss him
He’s gone and he’s left us all alone
She never had the chance to tell him goodbye
her Daddy wont be coming home.

Their son was downstairs in the kitchen
His breakfast disappearing with haste
He wanted to meet with his girlfriend
He didn’t have much time to waste

I miss him, they miss him, we miss him
He’s gone and he’s left us all alone
He never had the chance to tell him goodbye
His Daddy wont be coming home.

Her chores all were done she was ready
To put her feet up, coffee's on
On the radio the DJ was crying
Tower One WTC now was gone

Her blood ran so cold as she heard it
The coffee pot fell to the floor
Her husband right now would be working
Up there on the ninety-ninth floor

I miss him, they miss him, we miss him
He’s gone and he’s left us all alone
They never had the chance to tell him goodbye
Their Daddy wont be coming home.



For those who were taken and to those who are left behind.
Thurdsay, 11 September 2001. They will always be remembered
