"Dad?"

Dad?

Hello lil' baby,
Welcome to this world!
Breathe in deeply, and
Fly your flags of dreams unfurled!

Who's your Daddy,
Lil' one?
Where is he Tonight?
He wishes he were here, with
All his soul and might.

You're growing up, my child.
And taking on the world. Your
Mommy loves you greatly and
Your Daddy even more.

Who's your Daddy,
Lil' one?
Where is he Tonight?
He wishes he were here, with
All his soul and might.

I know you feel alone,
Being only thirteen.
Your father's out there somewhere,
As someone you've never seen.

Who's your Daddy,
Lil' one?
Where is he Tonight?
He wishes he were here, with
All his soul and might.

Happy Wedding Day, oh child!
This is your day to shine.
So while you make your party most wild,
Remember you'll always be mine...

Who's your Daddy,
Lil' one?
Where is he Tonight?
He wishes he were here, with
All his soul and might.

And the cycle is complete,
I'm a Grandfather today.
I only wish I knew, so
You wouldn't have to say:

Who's your Daddy,
Lil' one?
Where is he Tonight?
He wishes he were here, with
All his soul and might.
