In Pictures - Linda Davis

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
