In Pictures

In Pictures - Alabama

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 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 the money down

Do 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

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
