Much Too Fast

Did I fall asleep and miss a part of your life You’ve grown so much, much too fast Was I so involved in day to day life That I simply didn’t see you grow Wasn’t it yesterday you took your first breaths And I heard the cries of your arrival Wasn’t it yesterday you took your first steps And now, now listen to you talk Where have I been, what have I done How could I have missed Seeing how much you’ve grown Both the year just gone past And your growth, has happened much too fast Listening to you tell of your day gone by Of all your new found friends And all the things you did together And what you plan for tomorrow It’s hard to believe you’re just past four Seeing the person you’ve become How well you comprehend the things about you It makes me wonder How much you think I care And if you truly, truly know How much I’ve missed seeing you grow Seeing you today has made me realize That my struggles against everyday life Hold very little meaning If I don’t take the time to look into your eyes For my life, like your growth Goes by, much too fast NOTE*** This is from my CD A Father’s Love Letters To listen to the CD please visit http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mikehamill
