I've got her photograph on a stand by my bed
two on the mantle and thousands in my head
i can't believe how fast she's growing
it ain't supposed to be like this
everytime i look at her, i see how much i missed.
I missed her first steps
her first words
and “i love you daddy” is something i seldom heard.
oh it hurts me so…
to watch my girl grow…
up in pictures
I sent the money down
do my best to do my part
but it can't compare to what i paid with my heart
there's still one answered question
that weighs heavy on my mind
will she ever understand, the reasons why?
I missed her first steps
her first words
and i love you daddy something i seldom heard
oh it hurts me so, to watch my girl grow
up in pictures
Takes all i have to keep the tears inside.
and what i wouldn't give if i could turn back time.
I missed her first steps
her first words
and “ i love you daddy” is something i seldom heard
oh it hurts me so, to watch my baby grow
