I Promise
I PROMISE
As I'm sitting alone
There's a kinda six sense premonition
That Iddy biddy feeling inside
Known as parental intuition
We know the parental drill
Time to take our position
Doesn't matter what your doing
You just stop and purely listen
Sensing something not quite right
I need to settle my suspicion
So as I creeped down the hallway
Pivoting to avoid the squeaky floor
Indeed My intuition was right
As I hear my daughter Sobbing behind the door
The tears of a daughter missing her mum
Are not like normal tears
These form from the pit of the soul
Shifting heart ache up through gears
Tears that send chills
Down through the bones
From just a 7 year old girl
Who just wants a mum of her own
But she Worried it would up set her dad
She bravely copes alone
Just like your mother always thinking of others
it's scary how much you have grown
My eyes start to blur
and the tears start to form
Not even the weatherman can predict
One of my life's mental storms
I just comfort her as she breaks down
I just bear hug her as tight as can be
I reassure her I'm not going anywhere
Unfortunately your stuck with me
I wipe my blurred vision
and just man up on the spot
It's time for some daddy advice
So listen up my little fiffi tot
Sometimes baby life can be mean
Sometimes it won't always turn out
Exactly as u seem
But as I've told you before
You are a little queen
You my monkey moo will Succeed in life
So promise me you follow your dreams
as she weeps she ask me to promise to never leave her side
As I wipe her nose and dried her eyes
She clutched me tight with all of her mite
It's me and u no matter what we do
we come as a pair like doves in the air
So proud of you moo your amazing through and through
