Todd's song for his daughter, Emma Grace Foege.
I believe he wrote it in 2015 near the beginning of the year.
Sooner than later-------
Well I want you to know things
Be aware when I am not around
I know when your blue eyes see straight through me
And speak to me with all of that blonde
So I want to cuddle
Protect you from all of the things I've already been through
I want to show you
Show you this life isn’t as bad as I may have made it too
I'll always love you
The way that this father loves his only daughter
When I walk out every morning
I cry as I walk to the door
I cry about how long I'd be away for
I cry about leaving you with your Ma
So I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already been through
And Im gunna show you
Show you this life isn’t as bad as I may have made it too
I'll always love you
The way that this father should love his only daughter
My Emma G……………
My Emma G…………….
My Emma G……………
So I wanted to write this- dunno where to begin
Before I have to blow
To explain to you the shit I have been through
To explain what your daddy always knows
I want to cuddle
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
I want to show you
Show you this life isn’t as bad as I may have made it too
I'll always love you
The way that this father loves his only daughter
Sweet Emma G……………
Sweet Emma G…………….
Sweet Emma G……………
__________________________
I, personally, would love to hear someone sing this song country style.
Todd was a country boy at heart.
Sure do miss him. Miss you too, Emma... I trust that as you strengthen up and start asking questions, you'll reach out when ready to do so.
We are here and ready to uplift your life, to nurture where needed and to offer whatever you need, to the best of our ability.
Your family is here for you just a few miles away.
You are Todd's daughter, thus I know you are a powerful and highly intelligent navigator of life.
Truth will prevail.
Love, Auntie DDé
