Lyric In Pictures
(Joe Doyle/Bobby E. Boyd)
He s got her photograph
On a stand by his bed
Two on the mantle
And a thousands in his head
He can t believe how fast she s changing
It ain t supposed to be like this
Every time he looks at her
He sees how much he missed
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
Oh, it hurts him so
To watch his baby grow
He sends the money down
Does his best to do his part
But it can t compare
To what he pays with his heart
There s still one unanswered question
That weighs heavy on his mind
Will she ever understand
When he tells her why
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
It takes all he has to keep the hurt inside
What he wouldn t give if he could turn back time
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
He s got her photograph
On a stand by his bed
Two on the mantle
And a thousands in his head
He can t believe how fast she s changing
It ain t supposed to be like this
Every time he looks at her
He sees how much he missed
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
Oh, it hurts him so
To watch his baby grow
He sends the money down
Does his best to do his part
But it can t compare
To what he pays with his heart
There s still one unanswered question
That weighs heavy on his mind
Will she ever understand
When he tells her why
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
It takes all he has to keep the hurt inside
What he wouldn t give if he could turn back time
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
