Thirty-one years ago
Feels like yesterday
Your little feet running
I worked my life away
Ten hours a day
Six days a week
Chasing friends at night
Came home midnight
Carried you to bed tight
But the years flew by
Now my heart cries
I missed the moments
That money can't buy
Two marriages broken
And friends all gone
Left with regrets
For what I should've done
If I could turn back time, son
I'd never let go of your hand
I'd spend every minute
To be your hero, your man
Please look into my love
Not the mistakes I made
I'm sorry for the times
I let your heart fade
I promise you now
I'll be here till life no more
My love for you
And your sister is worth living for
You're a big boy now
But to me still my child
Every weekend together
Makes my tired soul smile
Lunches and dinners
Nintendo Wii games we play
Trying to heal
The wounds of my yesterday
I see your eyes
Forgiving me silently
Thank you, my son
For understanding me
No one is perfect
In this broken world's design
But my love for you forever will shine
If I could turn back time, son
I'd never let go of your hand
I'd spend every minute
To be your hero, your man
Please look into my love
Not the mistakes I made
I'm sorry for the times
I let your heart fade
I promise you now
I'll be here till life no more
My love for you
And your sister
Is worth living for
I made a vow
To your little sister too
To spend my life's
Best time with you two
Nothing else matters
But your smiles and dreams
I'm just a father
With silent painful screams
If I could go back
I would change it all
But now my love stands tall
Please accept my apology
My son, my world, my pride
I'll love you both until
The end of my life
