lyrics

It was 18 years ago when I met you/ Since the first day you made your way into my life
And I was overcome by humility thinking of just how wonderful you were
And I didn't really know what the future would hold, and I was hopin' to giving you my very best
And at the very least I tried my hardest to make a good life for you
Now I may not always get it right/ And we gon' fight/ We gon' have our days
But that's just the way it is sometimes in life/ Things can't always be perfect
So now we took this ride and I hope in the end there's a few things you learn
If we do our job and work real hard one day you gon' have your turn

Chorus

So I write this song for you to let you know how I feel

We were just babies when we made plans, but the best laid plans can often go awry
We sure did try to make a life, but in the end it just ain't work
I never meant to hurt and now looking back/ Maybe I should have given us a second chance
But young boys don't always see clearly/ 'Cause wisdom is gained through experience
I pray in the end you turn out fine, and know that I'm always with you
Maybe one day we can share a glass of wine and share stories of what we've been through
All our fears and triumphs/ Sit and hold each other close
Of all the women I've written songs for know that I loved you the most

Chorus

Young girl you will be a woman and I hope that you understand
That I am always here for you and will be in anyway I can
My life and love you are/ You've always been my reason to live
I may not be wealthy, but a father's love to his child is what I’ve got to give

Chorus
