Sobbing my eyes out.. i can't only help but cry
just wondering why my little seed wasn't born alive
Takes me back to the day... when i heard the news
mommy had you in her tummy, my baby was really you
We were happy at the time, you were on your way
we left our hearts opened, planned your first birthday
Planning a new home, new clothes, hell a brand new crib
but like a flower trying to bloom, why couldn't you live
I didn't get to see you born, didn't see your first smile
Didn't hear my son/daughter cry, not see 'em for awhile
Never got to hold your hand... not even give you a kiss
i'd give my own life up... just to have a moment of it...
Why couldn't you see today, why couldn't i see your eyes
were they like your mommy's or daddy's.. can't stop the cry
I'm put down for the long days... i'm not free as a bird...
but why couldn't i at least get to hear my baby's first word
I had the future planned out... 'n original family dream
but with a great prize of happiness, it's not all what it seems
The only memory of you that we have... is all in my head
my whole life blanked, once the doctor said you were dead
Don't worry about your daddy.. these tears never seem to end
they say once a life's taken, another one would seem to begin
I thank the person that gave up his/her life.. so we'd have you
but like the winter over days... there's no warmth without you
Why couldn't i hold you in my arms... my seed to give a hug to
i'll still keep on crying but know that deep inside.. your daddy loves you
