Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play...

I lost my child today.
People came to weep and cry...

My Precious Little Baby,
Your face I've never seen...

It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief...

Go ahead and mention my child,
The one who died you know...

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute...

What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd her 7 month old baby...

You don't know how I feel
Please don't tell me that you do...

Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play...

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry...

Guess what mama & papa,
Heaven is great...

I smell the whiskey on your breath.
And you beg for me to put your temper to the test...
