Description
A poignant song about a father trying to explain to his young children that he and their mom are divorcing. He decides that the best way to tell them is to write the children a letter to be opened when they are old enough to understand, As the lyrics to begin this song state " As I write this letter to my daughter and my sons, I need to try and tell you what it is we've done, and to tell you all about your Daddy's Love".
Lyrics
As I write this letter, to my daughter and my sons, you are only four years, three and one I need to try to tell you, what it is we"ve done and to tell you all about your Daddy's Love You may not remember when we built a home A home we built to shelter you from the world when it grows cold I may not always be ther but the shelter still remains My heart will always be with you to protect you from the rain Chorus: Your mother and I, loved each other so In my heart I hoped and prayed this love would grow Sometimes people change, you can't control your heart Before you know what's going on, you've grown apart Boy's, please watch your sister when your Daddy isn't there The three of you are blessed to have your lives to share There may be disagreements,there may be times you fight But when it really matters, you'll defend each others rights Now you know I love your mother in a very special way We'll always have the three of you, that gift won't go away And as you grow,and live your lives, we'll both be there to see 'Cause one way or another kids, we're still a family Repeat Chorus: Your mother and I loved each other so In my heart I hoped and prayed this love would grow Sometimes people change, you can't control your heart Before you know what's going on,you've grown apart As I end this letter to be opened years from now I hope that you will understand and forgive us both somehow No matter what you're doing,or what you're dreaming of You'll always have the truth of Daddy's Love
