Daddy wasn't there.

You were there when I needed you
to catch me if I fall.
But daddy didn't love me
he didn't care at all.

When I was sick you cured me
made sure I was OK,
but daddy never did that
because he went away.

You put me in this life
and were always there for me,
but daddy wasn't there
it was hard for him to see.

I was tucked into bed
and was kissed good-night,
but daddy was never there
to turn off the light.

You held me close to you
every time I fell.
But daddy didn't crack
he stayed inside his shell.

So thank you mom, for being there
even if daddy's away.
I'm always here to be with you
because I know you're here to stay.

I love you mom with all my heart,
so please don't leave my side,
don't turn into daddy,
because daddy lied.

I will always be your helper,
I will always be your friend,
just let me know
that your mother comfort will never end.
