In Pictures

(J.Doyle-B.E.Boyd)



I've got her photograph on a stand by my bed

Two on the mantel and thousands in my head

I can't believe how fast she's growing, it ain't suppose to be like this

Every time I look at her I see how much I've missed.



Chorus:

I missed her first steps, her first words

I love you daddy is something I seldom heard

Oh, it hurts me so to watch my girl grow

Up in pictures.



I send the money down, I do my best to do my part

But it can't compare with what I pay with my heart

There's still unanswered questions that weigh heavy on my mind

Will she ever understand the reasons why?



Chorus:

I missed her first steps, her first words

I love you daddy is something I seldom heard

Oh, it hurts me so to watch my girl grow

Up in pictures.



It takes all I have to keep the tears inside

What I wouldn't give if I could turn back time.



Chorus:

I missed her first steps, her first words

I love you daddy is something I seldom heard

Oh, it hurts me so to watch my baby grow

Up in pictures...
