In Pictures

I've got her photograph on the 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've 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 her money down do my best to do my part
But it can't compare to what I pay with my heart
There's still one unanswered question weighing heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why

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

It takes all I have to keep the tears inside
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
