To think, the night before you were born up in New Haven,
The feeling in my soul that day, I can’t explain it, 
And when we moved to Austin, Texas you had grown,
Into such a fine young boy,
You became my best friend…

And only three years later, in a town near Cincinnati,
The sweetest little girl in all of earth and heaven,
Came into this world down in the foothills of Kentucky,
And the sparkle in her smile,
Could make a grown man cry…

I love you, no matter how far we’re apart,
And I love you so much it’s tearing at my heart,
But I know you’ll be ok, and I’ll think of you each day,
And I hope you won’t forget…that I’m your Daddy…

Your new home in Rhode Island will bring happiness and friends,
And places that you’ve never been before, but, please,
Remember that I’m up here in New Hampshire all alone,
But you’ll never be too far from all the love we’ve known…

I love you, no matter how far we’re apart,
And I love you so much it’s tearing at my heart,
But I know you’ll be ok, and I’ll think of you each day,
And I hope you won’t forget…that I’m your Daddy…

So lay you’re sleepy head down on your pillow safe and warm,
And dream about the many things that make you happy,
And I will lay my head down on my pillow safe and warm,
And as I drift to sleep, I will dream…of you…

I love you, no matter how far we’re apart,
And I love you so much it’s tearing at my heart,
But I know you’ll be ok, and I’ll think of you each day,
And I hope you won’t forget…that I’m your Daddy.
