Well i want you to no why
to know why I'm not around, because of your mother she kept beating me, beating me down.
and i know that your eyes see straight through me
and speak to me without a sound, so my heart hears your silent cry. Baby I won't give up, just keep on trying.


I long to hold you
protect you from all of the things I've been through
and I wanna show you
show you all the things that your life has in store for you
I'll always love you
the way that a father should love his daughter

when i walked out that evening
i cried as i walked away from the door
i cried about how long i'd be gone for
i cried about leaving you alone.

So i wanted to say this
because i wouldn't know where to begin
to explain to you what i have been through
to explain where your daddy has been
