Daddy’s Heart

This one's for my babies

My two little girls

And my son

Daddy loves you

More than you'll ever know

I woke up this morning, reached for my phone

Looking at your pictures, sitting here alone

Wondering how much you've grown since I've been away

Wondering if you still remember my face

Three birthdays passed

Christmas night

Three years of wishing I could hold you tight

I miss your little laughter

Miss the way you'd call my name

And nothing in this world

Could ever take away that pain

And I don't know what you've been told

But there's something you should know

Not a day has passed me by

But you haven't crossed my mind

If I could hold you one more time

I'd never wanna say goodbye

I'd kiss your cheeks and hold you close

And tell you all the things you need to know

My two little girls, my baby boy

You are my heart, you are my joy

And though we're miles and years apart

You've never left your daddy's home

Oh, my baby, three years is too long

To my daughter, you're my sunshine

Even when the skies are gray

I wonder if you're smiling

Who's there to brighten up your day

To my sun I hope you're growing

Into everything you dream

I wish that I could stand beside you

And show you what a man should be

I know I missed some moments

That I never can replace

But I pray someday you'll understand

How much I long to see your face

If I could turn that time

I'd give you every missing day

But until I get

To hold you, there's something I need to say

If I could hold you one more time

I'd never wanna say goodbye

I'd kiss your cheeks and hold you close

And tell you all the things you need to know

My two little girls, my baby boy

You are my heart, you are my joy

And though we're miles and years apart

You never left your daddy's home

Oh, my baby, please, it's too long

And maybe you'll get questions

About why I wasn't there

I won't pretend I have the answers

To make those years feel fair

But I won't ask you to forget

The days that I was gone

I'll listen when you're ready

And I'll love you all along

And if the day comes when I see you

And you aren't into my arms

I'll thank God for that moment

And hold you close against my heart

If I could hold you one more time

I'd never wanna say goodbye

I'd give anything to hear you lack

To have those precious moments back

My two little girls, my baby boy

You are my life, you are my joy

And even though we're far apart

You always have your daddy's heart

All my babies

Can you hear me calling?

Daddy's still here

Daddy's still loving you

Three years too long

But my love
