[Little Kid:] You know what my daddy's name is?
|
[Woman:] What is your daddy's name?
|
[Little Kid:] His name is Love.
|
|
Well I'd like to say you're the one I look up to
|
And all my life I've always tried to be like you
|
Your little man, your biggest fan
|
But then I'd just be wishin' for what I never had
|
A lovin' father instead of just a weekend dad
|
With liquor on his breath, and be scared to death
|
|
When you come around I'd like to see my daddy
|
And not some wild-eyed stranger
|
Who shows up once in a while
|
A soul that's found all that he's been missin'
|
And you finally turn that corner in your life
|
Each night I pray that people see the day
|
When you come around
|
|
And Lord knows we'd have a lot of catchin' up to do
|
'Cause there's so many things I'd love to share with you
|
Maybe take a walk, a little time to talk
|
You could call us up and spend some time with your grandsons
|
Tell 'em stories, take 'em fishin' while they're still young
|
We could finally be a real family
|
|
When you come around I'd like to see my daddy
|
And not some wild-eyed stranger
|
Who shows up once in a while
|
A soul that's found that there's still time for livin'
|
And you finally turn that corner in your life
|
Each night I pray that people see the day
|
When you come around
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
To have you in my life would be a dream come true
|
For me to say "I love you" and to hear you say it too
|
|
When you come around I'd like to see my daddy
|
And not some wild-eyed stranger
|
Who shows up once in a while
|
A soul that's found all it takes to be forgiven
|
Is to finally turn that corner in your life
|
Oh I can't wait to be standin' there that day
|
When you come around
|
