(Words: K. Heinzman, Music: B. Holderman)
I don`t know how to say this
I think about you everyday
I never got to see you
I don`t even know your name
I close my eyes to picture you
And my thoughts begin to turn
Would you have been my little man
Or daddy`s little girl?
I never got to hear the words,
Daddy, take my hand.
I`ll never watch you write your name
It`s just so hard to understand
CHORUS I
As I wipe away my tears
I can faintly hear
A gentle voice keep saying,
Don`t Cry.
Never got to hear your voice
Calling out to me
Never got to worry
About how you`d turn out to be
My love for you grows stronger
As I hold your momma tight
Her body shakes from crying
And I pray with all my might
The life you live is better now
Than the life you`d have with us
I only wish we`d had the chance
To give you all our love
CHORUS II
As I wipe away from tears
I can faintly hear
A gently voice keep saying,
Don`t cry
Close your eyes and hear me
I know the pain you`re feeling now
Is more than you can bear
But don`t cry.
I know it`s hard to believe me
But trust me, Son, your eyes will dry
And your life will carry on
Just know your child rests with me
And don`t cry.
Will you recognize me
When I see you in the end?
Will you call me father
Or will you call me friend?
CHORUS I out
