Dad, look up to the heavens
And surely you will see
The brightest, shining star of all,
That star is named Marie.
She’s shining down upon us
All the whole year through,
But Dad, she shines the brightest
At Christmas, just for you.
She doesn’t want you lonely
She doesn’t want you sad.
She wants you to make each Christmas
The best you’ve ever had.
She brings memories of Christmas past.
And dreams of those to be.
Share all you have with others-
Don’t forget the Christmas tree.
So when you miss her Dad,
Like all of us still do,
Just look up to the heavens
And MARIE will shine on you.
Dad, when you get to Heaven
And claim your "star" so bright,
Together through eternity
You’ll glow with loving light.
Merry Christmas Dad, I love you.
