In a gentle whisper, a father's voice, Speaks of struggles, of love's choice. To his daughter, he softly sings, Of broken dreams and angel wings.
"Little baby, don't you cry, Daddy's here, so wipe your teary eyes. Though mommy's gone, I'll always be, In your heart, in every plea.
Just trust your dad, cause you're too young to understand what's going on between mom and dad, though she was caring, but was always on the news, and I know Lainie and you are always in confuse.
Hailie, my love, I see your pain, In every tear, in every strain. But hold on tight, we'll make it through, Together, me and you.
Once was a time when your dad didn't have a penny, my job was to keep the food on the table for you and Lainie, we saved some money so you could go to college but someone broke in and stole it.
Lainie, my sweet, you've both grown tall, From baby pictures on the wall. In this empty house, memories sigh, Of moments shared beneath the sky.
So hush now, my baby, don't you cry, Daddy's here, to hold you, to try. Though mommy's gone, we'll be alright, In each other's arms, we'll find the light.
And if you ask, for a mockingbird I'll bring it for you to sing, I'll give you the world, what's a diamond's gleam? For in your smile, my love, I've seen.
But if that bird fails to sing, I'll mend its wings,and if that ring doesn't shine, back to the jeweler, I'll make him whine. Make him eat all those carats, don't mess with this dad, that's the line.
For in your joy, my heart finds peace, In every beat, in every piece.
