All I Ever Wanted

All I ever wanted,
was to be loved by you.
Whenever I had a problem. .
just knowing that you were here,
always got me through.

When I was younger,
it never bothered me that I didn't
have some things that the other kids had;
because I had something that they didn't . .
I got to have you for a dad.

Since I've had time to think,
I suppose you loved me from the start.
After all, I was the baby you had chosen,
and had welcomed into your heart.
