[Intro] Yeah baby Jackson, I love you What would I do without you, man? I love you, baby [Verse 1] Boy, this to you, where my heart, really goes to I know you're too young to understand what I'm going through And I'm one soul, when your momma left I know she couldn't wait for me to take my last breath We can't be going on, nothing to survive So every single time that I look in your eyes I think about the street, the encouragement you gave me I've been way too happy, yeah here lately Days move forward, I wake up with a smile I love you so much, I couldn't ask for a better child I don't want you to think that your daddy's a gangster You inspire my music, son I want to thank you Every day I wake up to hear your beautiful voice I know in my heart that I made the right choice All I ever wanted was to be the best Dad I know in my heart I'll lead you down the right path [Chorus] Daddy be there till the day that he dies Every time you shed a tear, daddy wipes his eyes No matter what you do, no matter where I am Daddy always be there to hold your hand Daddy be here till the day that he dies Every time you shed a tear, daddy wipes his eyes No matter what you do, no matter where I am Daddy always be there to hold your hand [Verse 2] Daddy loves you, Imma show you that I care Any time you need me, I'll be right there When you get older and your problems develop Whenever you need something, I'll be there to help I'll give you the advice that you're probably gonna need Whenever you need to talk, just come talk to me How I learned the day, the day that you were born [?] to say, that you are my world When my days go wrong and I'm in a bad mood I cheer right up, the second I see you You're a spitting image of how I used to be So I guess when I look at you, all I see is me Is that a good thing, or is it just bad? Yeah, it's a good thing you look like your Dad I'm glad you're too young to understand all the pain I apologize for your mommy, acting this way [Chorus] Daddy be there till the day that he dies Every time you shed a tear, daddy wipes his eyes No matter what you do, no matter where I am Daddy always be there to hold your hand Daddy be here till the day that he dies Every time you shed a tear, daddy wipes his eyes No matter what you do, no matter where I am Daddy always be there to hold your hand [Verse 3] Every day I wake up, it's the beginning of the end Now so much to say, but where do I begin? Things might be different, if I was with your Mom Have to remind myself, that I did nothing wrong I just wanna give you the best life you can have There are a few times when I feel I'm not the best Dad Performing every weekend, it's taking time from us There are a few times when I think I've had enough But the music that I spit, is like my therapy To help me from the pain that your Mommy gave to me Cause I never know if she's going to be there the next day I guess too many times that she's already ran away As much as I hate your Mom, I just grind my teeth I know you love your Mom as much as you love me I feel so bad for what's she's doing, see I know she's still your Mom, no matter what she did to me [Chorus] Daddy be here till the day that he dies Every time you shed a tear, daddy wipes his eyes No matter what you do, no matter where I am Daddy always be there to hold your hand Daddy be here till the day that he dies Every time you shed a tear, daddy wipes his eyes No matter what you do, no matter where I am Daddy always be there to hold your hand
