Yesterday he was in my arms
I held him as he said “daddy I love you”
I will never forget that look in his eyes
As if he is saying “daddy I need you”

My son, if you only knew
How much I long for you
The days I go through
Mean nothing without you

One day I promise I will have no fears
That day will come when I will never leave
My heart breaks when I see those tears
In God I trust, in him I believe
I promise my son, I’ll make up for those years
