Came in from a night of drinking
Wife met me at the door
Holding our baby daughter
Both were crying
Told me heaven knows
I’ve been trying
But I can’t do this anymore
I need a husband and our baby needs a father

At that very moment
I saw my daughter’s first few years
Flash before my eyes
First words learning how to crawl
Tea party with her favorite doll
First steps quite unsteady
Holding my hand
Calling me daddy

So right there I hit my knees,
Prayed dear God please
Don’t let me lose my little girl
Her life is just beginning
Now I see
What I'd be missing

Years later
Our daughter wasn’t well
What it was
The doctors couldn’t tell
Seeing her crying
In that bed
Hurting with the pain
In her head

At that very moment
I saw my daughter’s next few years
Flash before my eyes
Driving, senior prom
Off to college
Marriage
Becoming a mom

So right there I hit my knees,
Prayed dear God please
Don’t let me lose my little girl
Her life is just beginning
Now I see
What I'd be missing

Years later
Our daughter blessed us
With a grandson
So perfect
And so handsome
Holding him in my arms
I was the proudest grandpa
You ever saw

At that very moment
I saw his first few years
Flash before my eyes
First words learning how to crawl
Playing catch with his favorite ball
First steps quite unsteady
Holding my hand
Calling me granddaddy

So right there
I hit my knees once more
Played with my grandson
There on the floor
Threw a thank you
Up to heaven
For all the blessings
I've been given
