Dana Glover - Daddy lyrics

He was gone before you could walk

Gone and left your mom alone

Just as you were learning to talk

So you grew up real fast

And she changed her name

The one why you lost your place

Was the new baby's game

Well I'm sorry

That you never knew your daddy

That you never felt the love

That every little boy is dreaming of

Yeah I'm sorry

That you never knew your daddy

Cause now your all grown up

With such a price to pay, yeah

Well the years have come gone

And here I am

For the life of me I could try and try

But never understand

Now everything can change or stay the same

Cause we can live and learn, but in return

The pattern still remains

Well I'm sorry

That I never knew your daddy

That I never felt the love

That every little girl is dreaming of

Yeah I'm sorry

That I never knew your daddy

Cause now I'm all grown up

With such a price to pay

Maybe someday you will understand

Why we had to go

I believe there is redemption

And in time we'll know

Why

Well I'm sorry

That you never knew your daddy

That you never felt the love

That every little boy is dreaming of

Yeah I'm sorry

That you never knew your daddy

Cause now I'm all grown up

With such a price to pay, yeah yeah
