[Verse 1]
Some voices never leave the room
They linger soft like summer air
Back in April on the phone
We made our plans to meet up there
I counted down the days till then
Like sunshine waiting to be shared

[Chorus]
Daddy, I still hear you say
"I miss you, Erika," every day
I press play and close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Your voice is the peace I hold
Your love keeps me from the cold

[Verse 2]
We had our ups, we had our downs
Five long years we spent apart
But when we laughed, the years would fall
You'd crack a joke and heal my heart
You made me feel so loved, so known
Like I was never on my own

[Chorus]
Daddy, I still hear you say
"I miss you, Erika," every day
I press play and close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Your voice is the peace I hold
Your love keeps me from the cold

[Bridge]
Three weeks after we said goodbye
The phone rang and the world went still
I wish I'd held your hand that night
I know I always will

[Verse 3]
You spent your life on someone else
Always putting people first
You'd give your coat, you'd give your time
To anyone who felt the worst
So I'll be strong the way you were
And love the way you showed me how

[Chorus]
Daddy, I still hear you say
"I miss you, Erika," every day
I press play and close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Thank you for the love you gave
I'll hold your voice till we meet again

[Outro]
Close my eyes, I'm near you still
I miss you too, I always will
