Lyrics
Memories of when I was a little boy, four years old Waiting for my daddy to come home And now I look into the eyes of my own son Wondering what he's thinking of Waiting at the window when I come home Watch his eyes fill up with joy and wonder He reaches out his tiny hands; I feel the bond 'tween boy and man
Memories of my mom cryin', my daddy gone for weeks at a time Not knowing how to comfort her Facin' my pillow, pretendin' not to hear Now I write this letter to my little boy I'm far away, not knowing really what to say Except, "I'm sorry, oh so sorry." I don't want to make these same Mistakes my daddy made with me Still his voice rolls off my tongue When I say, "boy, protect your mom."
Memories of my wife crying on the phone Wonderin' when I'm coming home My voice sounds detached and cold Reminds me of someone that I knew; He had a funny attitude When I needed him to be All the things only a daddy could be to me And I don't want to make the same Mistakes my daddy made with me Still his voice rolls off my tongue When I say, "not now, I'm busy son."
Memories of lying in bed with my wife and son Overwhelmed by so much love Tryin' to explain how a man can cry Yet still be happy Thinking of all the dumb mistakes I've made Now I understand my father's pain; He did the best with what he knew I love you daddy I watched my son fall asleep And wonder what he'll think of me When years from now he sees his son Reaching out his tiny hands for love
