Alabama - In Pictures lyrics

I've got her photograph on a stand by my bed Two on the mantle and thousands in my head I can't believe how fast she's growing It ain't supposed to be like this Everytime i look at her i see how much i've missed I missed her first steps her first words and "i love you daddy" Is something i've seldom heard Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures I send the money down do my best to do my part But it can't compare with what i've paid with my heart There's still one unanswered question that weighs heavy on my mind Will she ever understand the reasons why I missed her first steps and her first words and "i love you daddy" Is something i've seldom heard Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures It takes all i have to keep the tears inside And what i wouldn't give if i could turn back time I missed her first steps her first words and "i love you daddy" Is something i've seldom heard Oh it hurts me so to watch my baby grow up in pictures
