I`ve got her photograph on the stand by my bed
Two on the mantle and thousands in my head
I can`t believe how fast she`s growing it ain`t supposed to be like this
Everytime I look at her I see how much I`ve missed
I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures
I sent her money down do my best to do my part
But it can`t compare to what I pay with my heart
There`s still one unanswered question weighing heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why
I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures
It takes all I have to keep the tears inside
What I wouldn`t give if I could turn back time
I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my baby grow up in pictures
