For When You Are Six

A baby girl born in April, pink, perfect and brand new A proud young father, smile on my face, tear in my eye, what else could I do We connected immediately, your eyes big and bright like mine The feeling that flowed through me, I had never felt so fine I watched you grow up, one, then two, my princess, my sweet little girl I held you and kept you safe, like an oyster does a pearl One day something inside of me broke and I went away making everyone sad I know that I hurt you baby, you have every right to be mad For several years now, I haven’t been a very good dad, not seeing you very many times But this time Sarah, I hope to makeup for my crimes I will to be there for you, more than I ever had before; I’m not trying to be funny I only hope one day you can forgive me for what I have done sweet Sarah honey
