When reality sets in
and I see the look on your face.
I can't promise I won't cry
I can't promise I won't retrace.
Remembering all the times we laughed
and the times we've cried.
It's so sad to think
that it's now all left behind.
The shock of his end
so sudden and so surreal.
It's so hard to understand
exactly how I feel.
I wish to God that I could make it better for you
I know not the pain you bear.
I wish I could take away all that you suffer
but I can't, so just know that I'll always be there.
And don't worry, I'll be there to give you away
to see you graduate from high school, and college some day.
And I promise that I'll be there when you drive your first car.
I know that right now that future seems very far.
Until we get there it is right here I'll stay,
to help and support you, and to keep your tears at bay
