In Pictures - Linda Davis

(Joe Doyle/Bobby E. Boyd)

He’s got her photograph 
On a stand by his bed 
Two on the mantle 
And a thousands in his head 
He can’t believe how fast she’s changing 
It ain’t supposed to be like this 
Every time he looks at her 
He sees how much he missed 

He missed her first steps 
Her first words 
And I love you daddy 

Oh, it hurts him so 
To watch his baby grow 

He sends the money down 
Does his best to do his part 
But it can’t compare 
To what he pays with his heart 
There’s still one unanswered question 
That weighs heavy on his mind 
Will she ever understand 
When he tells her why 

He missed her first steps 
Her first words 
And I love you daddy 

It takes all he has to keep the hurt inside 
What he wouldn’t give if he could turn back time 

He missed her first steps 
Her first words 
And I love you daddy
