You've been away for awhile, and I've got a lot to say
A lot of things have happened since that devastating day
I want you to know what's going on in my world
I'm gonna be a mother, daddy
I'm having a baby girl
You won't be here when she finally comes into my life
You won't be here when she's the flower girl on the day I become a wife
You will never tuck her in and kiss her goodnight
She'll never meet you, and to me it's just not right
It's like a knife to my chest
A blow to my soul
It's not fair she'll never know the man that gave me life
But I'll do my best to make up for it, I'll tell her every night
The ways in which you loved me and made me who I am
So that I could create this baby girl, and love her like I can
I'll love her unconditionally
Just the way that you loved me
And I'll love her just as much
When she tells me she hates me
I'll look her in the eyes and be reminded of the days
You looked into mine, and loved me this way
