Did I fall asleep and miss a part of your life
You’ve grown so much, much too fast
Was I so involved in day to day life
That I simply didn’t see you grow
Wasn’t it yesterday you took your first breaths
And I heard the cries of your arrival
Wasn’t it yesterday you took your first steps
And now, now listen to you talk
Where have I been, what have I done
How could I have missed
Seeing how much you’ve grown
Both the year just gone past
And your growth, has happened much too fast
Listening to you tell of your day gone by
Of all your new found friends
And all the things you did together
And what you plan for tomorrow
It’s hard to believe you’re just past four
Seeing the person you’ve become
How well you comprehend the things about you
It makes me wonder
How much you think I care
And if you truly, truly know
How much I’ve missed seeing you grow
Seeing you today has made me realize
That my struggles against everyday life
Hold very little meaning
If I don’t take the time to look into your eyes
For my life, like your growth
Goes by, much too fast

Never again can I drive down that road,
I still see you singing in my passenger seat,
I can't walk through that park,
I still see us wading in our bare feet,
Never again can I eat dinner at our place down town,
I still see you next to me at the table near the wall,
I can't lie awake in my room at night,
I still hear your voice on my phone when you call,
Never again can I sit in the shade at our park,
I still feel your body pressed so close to mine,
I can't dial your number anymore,
I know everything will not be fine,
Never again can I trust,
I still feel you tearing my trust apart,
Never again can I love,
I still feel yours deep in my heart.
