My children come sit here and hold to daddy's hands
|
For I must tell you something that I don't understand
|
Lately we've been living in the shadows of surprise
|
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
|
I can't say it's my fault and I won't say it's hers
|
Cause I might have neglected when her need for me occures
|
But we're still a family and must realize
|
That I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
|
No I'm not the only man in her eyes anymore
|
And soon she'll be leaving walking out the door
|
And things won't be easy with her not around
|
And the shame that's now with us will be hard to live down
|
So children bear with me promise daddy you'll try
|
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
|
Since I'm not the only man in your mother's eyes
|
