Before You Came Into My Life

Before You Came Into My Life

Just a little lost, a little spoiled, a little torn
I had a mom who loved me, and a dad who didn't live at home.
I was just the child of a marriage that didn't last.
A daughter of two people who couldn't get over the past.
And when the time had come for them to separate
My daddy didn't fight for me, but gave me away.
He said it was because he knew that I loved my mommy more,
But I can't help wondering if I wasn't worth fighting for.
And though I loved my mother, and we grew closer day by day
There was something missing inbetween the times I played.
Silent conversations and mommy crying late at night
Told me there was more. That something wasn't right.
Then the day she met you, there was a smile on her face.
I knew you were the answer to what was out of place.
See, I didn't have a dad, or at least one all of the time.
And I was a little afraid to say you could be mine.
Even years after your wedding, I gave you grief and tears,
But you must know I was battling, so many of my fears.
Now I can look back upon the days when I was young
Knowing that without you, mom and I were not that strong.
Before you came into my life, I wasn't a complete little girl
But now mom and I can say we've been handed the world.
