I always knew, this time would come |
|
still I'm not ready, is anyone? |
|
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on |
|
I guess I was wrong. |
|
We had our moments, didn't we though? |
|
thought we'd never speak again, the day I left home. |
|
I was so much like you, swore I'd always be strong, |
|
I guess I was wrong. |
|
Why when it rains, does it always pour? |
|
Why does this pain feel like nothing I felt before? |
|
as a child I believed daddies lived on and on |
|
I guess I was wrong. |
|
Tried so hard to prove myself in your eyes |
|
could never live up to your standards so high. |
|
Brown skin on white sheets, your hand reaches for mine |
|
daddy don't cry. |
|
Ooooh |
|
Why when it rains does it always pour? |
|
As your first son I couldn't have loved you more. |
|
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on |
|
I guess I was wrong. |
|
Daddy your love for my mother, your wife, |
|
moves me more deeply than all else in my life. |
|
In the hospital bed, she holds you 'till dawn |
|
loves all that lives on. |
|
As a child I believed daddies lived on and on |
|
perhaps I was wrong. |
