I may not be the father I wanted to be
But my little boy is always on my mind
Even though today he can't see me
If one day he looks, it's me he'll find
Fate has kept us apart this long
But I'll always be there if he needs me
And if he needs some dough or a good song
I'll one day be the Dad that he can see
If there's anything I could do him
I'd give it all up to right what is wrong
Even when the future looks grim
He may just need a good lullaby or happy song
Sometimes I feel too far away
But I know I'll always have him at heart
I'm just waiting for the day
When we're no longer so far apart
I may not yet be the father I should be
But hell and high water won't stop me at this speed
From making sure he's as happy as he could be
God's grace and his smile are all I really need
But my little boy is always on my mind
Even though today he can't see me
If one day he looks, it's me he'll find
Fate has kept us apart this long
But I'll always be there if he needs me
And if he needs some dough or a good song
I'll one day be the Dad that he can see
If there's anything I could do him
I'd give it all up to right what is wrong
Even when the future looks grim
He may just need a good lullaby or happy song
Sometimes I feel too far away
But I know I'll always have him at heart
I'm just waiting for the day
When we're no longer so far apart
I may not yet be the father I should be
But hell and high water won't stop me at this speed
From making sure he's as happy as he could be
God's grace and his smile are all I really need
