Say What You Need to Say, And It's Never Too Late.


[Intro]
And as I look deep in my daughter's eyes.
I'm so afraid of soon saying goodbye.
I'll be with you in this life and the next.
Oh what kills me, oh what kills me comes next.

[V1:P1]
As I read you a story at bedtime.
I want you to know that it will all be fine.
But before you close your baby blue eyes.
You and I must say our final goodbyes.

[V1:P2]
Please don't ever shed a tear over me.
Because it is the way life has to be.
Know that your daddy will be in your prayers.
And know that your daddy is already there.

[Chorus]
My hearts starts to break just as midnight nears.
Losing my little girl I mostly fear.
Child please don't cry I'll be in your dreams.
That knowing life doesn't make sense it seems.
This is goodbye and my girl's lullaby.
This is my daughter's goodbye lullaby.

[V2:P1]
Please God just why don't I know how to say?
But I got to say goodbye for your sake.
Drift away as you lay your head to sleep.
All my love for you in my heart I'll keep.

[V2:P2]
Forever and always I'll be your dad.
What I've to do and say hurts me so bad.
So girl please don't have a single worry.
Your whole life will be a better story.

[Bridge]
Than mine ever was, and it's just because.
You were all that I am, all that I was.
My life isn't great 'cause the way I lived.
Than mine ever did, believe it all kid.
That your life will be a better story.
Please never about me should you worry.

[Chorus]
My hearts starts to break just as midnight nears.
Losing my little girl I mostly fear.
Child please don't cry I'll be in your dreams.
That knowing life doesn't make sense it seems.
This is goodbye and my girl's lullaby.
This is my daughter's goodbye lullaby.

[Outro]
Why is this the hardest thing left to say?
Always with the words I have lost my way.
Forever and always this is goodbye.
And now this is my daughter's lullaby.
