I offer to you my helpmy heart
my love
and you just turn away
But daddy you've been in prison almost half my life
is all that you will say
cant you see how it hurts me too
in much the self same way
Yet you get angry when I fight for you, for us
and refuse to write or even speak on the phone
MY dear sweet daughter
your anger and your silence
make me feel so sad and so alone
All I want is to be your daddy
and to hear you say those words
as you sit by my side
You just don't know all the days and nights
when all I've done is cried
I know all too well all the mistakes I've made
I've paid somehow for each and every one
But child of mine please understand
I can carry them no more
my past I must let go
cant you just please understand
that despite it all till the day I die
I'll always love you so.
