Figure I'll go ahead an' let you rank this piece.

 

To be perfectly honest, I know I never deserved to/

Have an angel like you, both so precious an' perfect/

But now that I got you, I honestly can't imagine/

How I coulda lived my life, if you had never happened/

I'm addicted to you, you could call it necessity/

'Cause I've become dependant, you bring out the best in me/

An' make me better than I thought I could ever be/

I was walkin' blindly, til God finally let me see/

That the child in my hands was really a second chance/

To take a look at my life, an' to make some better plans/

That's about the time realization come along/

An' I finally realized how often that I'd did your mother wrong/

Not how SHE thinks, but thank GOD she was so fuckin' strong/

An' that's why I apologize in every other song/

This is my lullaby to let you know that I'm missin' ya/

I love you babygirl, an' babyboy just listen an'/

 

 

Hush babyboy, now don't you cry/

Daddy dreams of you every night/

I'm comin' home soon to hold you/

An' make everything be alright/

(x2)

 

 

I wanna be there with you, but life is cruel an' vicious/

That's why when I asked if I could be with you for Christmas/

The judge said no, an' then he called me "a bad influence"/

But if there was a way to be there, I promise Daddy'd do it/

See, Daddy wants to be there, but no matter how he pleads/

They won't let him go, baby.  I'm sorry that Daddy had to leave/

But as sad as that may be, it's not as tragic as it seems/

'Cause when I go to sleep, I see you laugh in Daddy's dreams/

But I always end up cryin' at all the happy parts/

Like missin' your first Christmas.  That thought breaks Daddy's heart/

An' I can barely take it, 'cause these walls are closin' in/

Suddenly I'm awake, an' your gone an' all alone again/

An' Mommy tries to comfort me an' tell me you won't remember it/

But a hundred years o' comfort can't erase what November did/

An' she don't understand it.  She don't get why my tears are fallin'/

I left you completely helpless.  Now you're nearly crawlin'/

An' in dreams, I can hear you callin', sayin, "Daddy, why'd you leave me?"/

It's okay.  Mommy keeps your picture beside the T.V."/

In another one it, "Daddy, I hate my fuckin' self"/

But the worst part of all is how you say it to someone else/

An' now Mama wants to accuse me of some stuff I didn't do/

'Cause some other girl's at home sayin' stuff that isn't true/

Now I'm scared as hell of what your mother might do/

The life...  The family...  And the son I might lose/

So I can't keep from sayin, no matter how much I try to/

It's okay if you grow up to hate me as much as I do.../  (Until then)

 

 

Hush babyboy, now don't you cry/

Daddy dreams of you every night/

I'm comin' home soon to hold you/

An' make everything be alright/

(x2)

 

Hush babyboy, now don't you cry/

Daddy's comin' back home tonight/

I'ma sing this song to an' hold you/

An' everything will be alright/....
