Oh my dear children
|
How I love you with my life
|
And that will never change
|
Though your mom is not my wife
|
It's true I promised you
|
That this would never come to be
|
Please forgive me
|
|
When people fall in love
|
They never see the day
|
When one will ask the other
|
To pack up and move away
|
And I know that I have told you
|
I am sorry for my part
|
There's nothing I can do now
|
But to tell you from my heart
|
|
There is no such thing as divorce
|
Between a father and his son
|
Between a daddy and his daughter
|
There's no such thing as divorce
|
No matter what has happened
|
No matter what will be
|
(There's no power that can make us
|
Anything but family)
|
There is no such thing as divorce
|
Between you and me
|
|
I know that sometimes
|
You are worried I will go
|
And at first I felt like running
|
But now you need to know
|
That when I looked down deep inside me
|
It did not take long to see
|
That, little ones, you are
|
The most important thing to me
|
|
Sometimes I cry over
|
The things I can't undo
|
And the words I never
|
Should have said in front of you
|
But I pray the good
|
Will somehow overcome the bad
|
And where I failed as a husband
|
I'll succeed as your dad
|
|
Oh my dear children
|
As you grow so I will pray
|
That I will always listen
|
To the things you'll need to say
|
For I will always be your daddy
|
I will answer when you call
|
And I will ask the Lord of heaven
|
To be a father to us all
|
|
