In pictures

I've got his photograph on a stand by my bed
Two on the mantle and thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast he's growing
It ain't supposed to be like this
Everytime I look at him, I see how much I missed.

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 boy grow.

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 he ever understand the reasons why?

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 boy grow.

Takes all I have to keep the tears inside.
And 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 boy grow.
