"The Choice"

Laying here alone

Thinking of my Daughter's eyes

Those beautiful baby blues

Like start in the night sky

I hope one day later

You're old enough to know

My love for you was strong

I never wanted to let go

I never wanted to see you

Shed your tears at night

Or live your life as I

An ongoing fight

Thinking, should I leave

Or for my baby, should I stay

\Should I be a Daddy

Or because of your mommy, walk away

I know I shouldn't do it

But walk away I must

Her mother and I

Have lost all sense of trust

I'm hoping that you know

Your Daddy's love was strong

But I couldn't deal with your mother

It's best that I stay gone

It's best if I leave you now

With a smile, not a tear

If your Daddy you never know

Me leaving, you'll never fear

Sitting here alone

Holding back the tears

Wondering where you'll be

In the next twenty years

I hope you find you'll way

Back into your Daddy's arms

Twenty years from now
I'll still protect you from harm

I'll still be your rock

And hold you when you cry

Hoping for that day

Makes me want to try

So here I am, back where I began

Do I walk away

Or for my baby

Do I stay

I think I'll be a man

Do what I gotta do

Nothing will keep me away

I'm your Daddy, and I love you!
