My Apologies

My apologies, darlins' For all the late nights I had to spend working When all I really wanted to do was read your bedtime stories And ease your stress and your worries with goodnight hugs and kisses I'm so sorry, I missed it My apologies, darlins' For always having work, so long and so hard It was all so that I could afford to see those smiles in the mornings That's honestly what got me through most all of my tomorrows I'm so sorry, it's a bitter sweet sorrow My apologies, darlins' For not always being at home enough, I swear that I wanted to I didn't choose it over you, I choose it because of you So that when I do leave here, before you, your dreams still come true for you I'm so sorry, I promise, it's all for you
