I woke up one morning
Dad was gone
Called on my family
To help me through
We lost our father this morning
I held my head and started to cry
He's more than a father
I have that one thought he used to say
I started thinking more than a father
Another marine has gone on home
I'll see my father in Heaven one day
So many family have come and gone
Memories come as the thoughts come in
I can still recall as I'm thinking on
A thought of the man gone to Heaven Land
Getting tired as I'm growing old
I hiding my feeling forget the hurt
And think of the father I knew and loved
Another marine has gone on home
Gone on home to Heaven land
