DeeDah's Love Lives On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some bonds are written deep before we understand A little girl who held the whole world in her daddy's hand They'd sit and talk for hours, sharing every dream Two hearts that spoke a language only they could see But seasons changed, the road got hard And time put distance between their stars [Chorus] You were loved before you knew it You are loved beyond the pain Every wall that stood between you Couldn't wash his love away He was finding his way back to you Step by step, day by day And that love ain't gone, it's just changed its form It will hold you through the rain [Verse 2] Dee-Dah is what Chloe called her father Joseph A name so sweet, only she could hold it They'd talk about the future, all the dreams ahead "Education is everything, Chloe, do your best always" That's what he'd say with pride in his eyes He was turning it around, he was choosing life The road was bumpy but they both held on Father and daughter learning to be strong [Chorus] You were loved before you knew it You are loved beyond the pain Every wall that stood between you Couldn't wash his love away He was finding his way back to you Step by step, day by day And that love ain't gone, it's just changed its form It will hold you through the rain [Bridge] Chloe, lay that burden down The guilt was never yours to carry He knew your heart, he saw it clearly Even when the words came out all wrong He loved you all along [Verse 3] He'll be there when you walk across that stage He'll be the warmth you feel on your graduation day He'll walk beside you down the aisle someday And when you hold your children, you will feel his face September took his heartbeat from this earth But Chloe Duhon, you were his greatest work So let the healing come, don't hurt yourself, my love You are the living proof of everything he was [Chorus] You were loved before you knew it You are loved beyond the pain Every wall that stood between you Couldn't wash his love away He was finding his way back to you Step by step, day by day And that love ain't gone, it's just changed its form It will hold you through the rain [Outro] Dee-Dah is smiling down on you Chloe, he always knew You were the best thing he ever did And his love will see you through
