There's the song from Phantom of the Opera called "Wishing you were Somehow Here Again" it's about the death of her father.
Here's the lyrics:
You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here
Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I could
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
Too many years fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
No more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye

Songs About Losing Father

In the living years by Mike and the Mechanics
better yet Pink Floyd The Wall, a major theme in that is Pink's father died at war while he was a baby, and yearning for the dead father that he had never had, I recomend the CD and the movie

I really really love this song.....hope you'd like it too.Ü
Dance with My Father by Luther Vandross
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

Totally beatiful song about father passing away and how the son never had a chance to tell him how much he loved him.

good enough, either one of those are nation songs however i fairly love them.. The Dance (I suppose its by way of garth brooks however i fairly are not able to be definite) and the opposite one is "The finest guy I ever knew" and its approximately the ladies dad who labored difficult and died younger.. yet another that makes me suppose of my uncle I'm virtually is "Go Rest High, On that Mountain"

I would recommend "Sand and Water" by Beth Nielsen Chapman. She wrote this album after losing her husband to cancer, and the songs reflect all the emotions of grief, loss, and healing. The title track and the song "Say Goodnight (Not Goodbye)" are especially moving.
