In Pictures (Alabama)

I've got her photograph On a stand by my bed Two on the mantel And thousands in my head I can't believe how fast she's growing It ain't suppose to be like this Every time I look at her I see how much I've missed I missed her first steps Her first words I love you daddy Is something I seldom hear Oh it hurts me so To watch my girl grow Up in pictures I send the money down I do my best to do my part But it can't compare With what I pay with my heart There's still unanswered questions That weigh heavy on my mind Will she ever understand the reasons why I missed her first steps Her first words I love you daddy Is something I seldom hear Oh it hurts me so To watch my girl grow Up in pictures It takes all I have To keep the tears inside What I wouldn't give if I could turn back time I missed her first steps Her first words I love you daddy Is something I seldom heard Oh it hurts me so To watch my baby grow Up in pictures
