in pictures lyrics

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've missed

I missed her first steps and 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, to 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 and 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
