She holds the photo, and she asks your name
Her little heart wondering why you never came
I search for words, but they don't come clear
How do I explain why you're not here?
She dreams of you, a hero she's never met
I tell her stories, so she won't forget
But in her eyes, there's a longing so true
A hope that one day, she'll meet you
There's still time, if you want, to step through that door
To be the dad she dreams of, and maybe more
Her heart is open, though the years feel late
The love she has won't hesitate
Before it's too late
Her laughter echoes in an empty space
A part of her world you could embrace
She asks if you'll come, her voice so small
I hold her tight, trying to stand tall
She draws your face with crayons and dreams
A picture of family, or so it seems
But she wonders aloud, "Does he think of me?"
Her questions cut deeper than I can see
There's still time, if you want, to step through that door
To be the dad she dreams of, and maybe more
Her heart is open, though the years feel late
The love she has won't hesitate
Before it's too late
Don't let the moments slip through your hands
She's growing so fast, you can still take a stand
The milestones you've missed can't be undone
But there's still a chance to be her someone
There's still time, if you want, to step through that door
To be the dad she dreams of, and maybe more
Her heart is open, though the years feel late
The love she has won't hesitate
Before it's too late
She's waiting for you, her arms open wide
A love so pure, no reason to hide
Take the chance, don't let it fade
Be the dad she dreams of, before it's too late
