I've got his photograph On a stand by my bed Two on the mantel And thousands in my head I can't believe how fast he's growing It ain't suppose to be like this Every time I look at him I see how much I've missed
I missed his first steps His first words "I love you daddy" Is something I seldom hear Oh it hurts me so To watch my boy grow Up in pictures
I send the money down I do my best to do my part But it can't compare With what I pay with my heart There's still unanswered questions That weigh heavy on my mind Will he ever understand the reasons why
I missed his first steps His first words "I love you daddy" Is something I seldom hear Oh it hurts me so To watch my boy grow Up in pictures
It takes all I have To keep the tears inside What I wouldn't give if I could turn back time
I missed his first steps His first words "I love you daddy" Is something I seldom heard Oh it hurts me so To watch my baby grow Up in pictures
