Andrea
to my daughter
It saddens me to think I could have hurt you in some way
All I’ve ever wanted is to see you smile everyday
It must be berried deep inside something I cannot see
And tried to give you what I can and the best of me
Sometimes I feel you shut me out and wish I knew why
You never want to talk things out; I sit alone and cry
I wish we could get closer and feel the family bond
And just wipe away, whatever I did wrong
The days go by so fast the years come and go
Someday I won’t be here and this you need to know
I’ll keep trying to get closer and love I’ll always show
For you are my daughter, let’s make these things right
I’ll keep reaching for you and won’t give up the fight
To bring our lives much closer and take away the pain
Until the past is gone and happiness remains
You’re such a strong young lady and you get that from me
I know you’ll never think that but all your friends can see
That our bond is special one that will not brake
By holding on much tighter, with every step I take
And now I say I’m sorry for what ever you think I’ve done
Let’s put it all behind us and start having fun
Because time is getting shorter someday I won’t be here
And all you’ll see is my reflection, when looking in the mirror
