I've got her photograph on a 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 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 the money down Do my best to do my part But it can't compare to what I paid with my heart There's still one answered question That weighs heavy on my mind Will she ever understand, the reasons why? I missed her first steps Her first words And I love you daddy something I seldom heard Oh it hurts me so, to watch my girl grow Up in pictures Takes all I have to keep the tears inside. And 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
