M any days I have laid in bed and wept
Y ears have past and I will never forget

F or years I've wanted to be a dad
I nstead I will be forever sad
R eliving the accident in the back of my mind
S o I am stuck with no son of mine
T onight, once again I thought of him

U h oh I cry in the dark, with only one light and very dim
N ot even tonight I cant hold back my tears
B etter to be dead than to face my fears
O h god why did you have to take him from me
R emembering him reminds me I swore I'd never be
N ever never never a father I'll be

C hild I'll promise you, you'll see
H as been three years since this has happened
I wish I could change your diapers full of crap and
L augh and play and hug you all day
D on't ever forget your daddy loves you always...
