LYRIC FOR SALE

By Vojc Triple Bull Inc

You'll always be my daughter.
Since day one you’ve made me proud.
I never should have left your side
When heaven sent you through that cloud
Your hands that I reached for.
I let go when they were small
Controlled by confusion
Temptation wins with just one call
still wrapped up in your blanket
With white trim made of lace
That’s when I chose to turn my back
And miss the biggest smile on you face
The life you just left
Was sent here to save you
20 years of demons
Just pulled you further from view
Every day another battle
Not a tear was ever cried
You know you’ve hit rock bottom
When there’s nothing left inside
Without a memory of you
Just an invitation to a dance
Your daughter’s wedding is approaching
To turn around and take a chance
As tears reign down your face
The words she heard you say
In a voice bran new to her
I ‘ll be there for your special day
It’s been 20 years 20 long years
Church bells ringing in the air
It’s been 20 years 20 long years
And a new suit that I will wear
The hands I let go once .
I must do again today
Proudly walking you down the aisle
To officially give my daughter away
It’s been 20 years 20 long years
My Daughters now a wife
And brought along a son in law
From now on your a team
2 more eyes to find that dream
A lot can change in 20 long years
The day I stepped away
I still haven’t said why
I’ll save that for tomorrow
It’s time to celebrate not cry
The door that closed behind me.
A lifetime we both missed.
Your weekends were filled with sleepovers.
While mine had two clenched fists.
The reason I was gone
I'm fully to blame.
The truth got buried deeper.
When I had a number and not a name.
I wish I had stayed.
And said goodbye to that bad crowd.
To stay with your big smile.
And embrace what made me proud.
If you don’t believe in yourself
Then you can’t be there to help another
I can’t wait to watch the family
That you will raise as a mother
As the DJ clears the floor
He walks the bride to the light
Then says dad join your daughter
And dance together all night
Then everyone stood up
No one remained in their seat
It’s the time of their life
To dance with no shoes on their feet
It’s time to switch up
As dad introduced the band
The applause just got louder
With every wave of their hand
It’s been 20 years 20 long years
Dads not going nowhere
It’s been 20 years 20 long years
One stupid decision and your labeled for life
No one cares what I say
Caused I paved my own way
And now my friends call me 20 long years
(Piano)
I’m keeping my word and trying to be fair
Spent my license plate money on sippie cups with lids
Thats when my daughter held my hand i saw excitement in her eyes
We're still planning a timeframe when we’re ready for kids
Slow (Piano) Maybe a bridge
With my head hung low and my stomach in knots
is there an ETA that's honest and true
She saw the shock on my face Like I was floating in space
That's when she said it might take a decade or two
Im looking at 20 more years ,another 20 long years
The smiles I'm missing I can't hold back the tears
You can't change time or adjust miles with fears
All you could do is wait another 20 long years
My brain refuses to accept that my voice said 20 more years
Since we’re both on the same journey and going the same way
Walked down this road already just take it day by day
Now when i hear my nickname, i consider it support
Now I’m off To the drugstore to buy some plugs for my ears
And its hard to drop a nickname that i gave myself over the years…..
Just vocals for last line
I'll see y'all again in 20 long years
(Loud fast piano ending)
