Paul Davidson - There Hasn’t Been a Day (Official Lyric Video)

This song is about learning to live after losing my dad. He died on Father’s Day in 2016, aged just 52. Nearly ten years later, I still don’t believe that time “heals” grief. You don’t simply get over losing someone. Life carries on, you build new memories, you laugh again and you find happiness again, but the person you lost remains part of you. For me, there genuinely hasn’t been a single day since Dad died where he hasn’t crossed my mind. Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s football. Sometimes it’s something one of my children does. Sometimes one of his sayings comes out of my own mouth. And very often it’s simply the thought: “Dad would’ve loved this.” This song isn’t about the day I lost him. It’s about everything that came afterwards, and eventually understanding that grief doesn’t disappear. You just learn how to carry it. ❤️ In memory of Dad 1964–2016 🎵 Written by Paul Davidson 🎵 From my upcoming first album If this song reminds you of someone you’ve lost, feel free to leave their name or a memory of them in the comments.

Lyrics Everybody went home, but life didn't stop There were boxes to clear and people to look after Two little girls needed me, everyone needed something So I kept myself moving, 'cause stopping felt harder They said I never grieved, I never let it out Maybe they were waiting for tears that never came But they never saw me driving around at two in the morning Just trying not to sit still long enough to feel the pain I didn't know how to lose you So I learned how to stay busy instead Time didn't heal me It just taught me how to carry you How to build a life around the space Where I still wish that I could find you I don't wake up broken like I did back then But missing you never went away I learned how to live without you But there hasn't been a day I don't watch half the things that we used to anymore Turns out the game wasn't the same without you there You said Klopp would bring the good days back to Liverpool You were right, I just wish we'd got to share them Your number's still there whenever I scroll through my phone Your bass is on the wall, your old mug's on the shelf And sometimes one of your stupid jokes comes out of my mouth And for a second, I can hear you in myself Time didn't heal me It just taught me how to carry you How to build a life around the space Where I still wish that I could find you I don't wake up broken like I did back then But missing you never went away I learned how to live without you But there hasn't been a day You should see the dad I've become I think you'd understand it more than most The girls wear Liverpool shirts, they kick a ball around And there's so much I still wish I could show you Every new memory leaves me thinking the same thing Every laugh, every milestone I wish you could see "Dad would've loved this" still comes so easily I keep collecting stories with nowhere to send them Time didn't heal me It just taught me how to carry you And somehow I found happiness again Without ever having to stop missing you I'm not the same man I was before Maybe part of me changed that day But I learned how to live without you And there still hasn't been a day I used to wonder how someone Could think of somebody every day Now I know. © 2026 Paul Davidson #ThereHasntBeenADay #PaulDavidson #OriginalSong #LyricVideo #Grief #Dad #Father #MissingYou #SingerSongwriter #AcousticMusic
