MUSIC FOR SALE

(Verse)
Came in late from a night of drinking
When my wife met me at the door
Holding our baby daughter
Who was crying
She said heaven knows
I’ve been trying
But I can’t do this anymore
I need a husband and our baby needs a father

(pre chorus)
At that very moment
I saw my daughter’s first few years
Flash before my eyes
First words and learning how to crawl
A tea party with her favorite doll
First steps that are quite unsteady
Holding my hand
Calling me daddy

(chorus)
So right there I hit my knees,
Prayed dear God please
Don’t let me lose my little girl
For her life is just beginning
And now I see
What I'd be missing

(verse)
Years later
Our daughter wasn’t feeling well
What it was
The doctors couldn’t tell
Watching her crying
In that hospital bed
Hurting with the pain
In her head

(pre chorus)
At that very moment
I saw my daughter’s next few years
Flash before my eyes
Driving, senior prom
Off to college
Marriage
Becoming a mom

(chorus)
So right there I hit my knees,
Prayed dear God please
Don’t let me lose my little girl
For her life is just beginning
And now I see
What I'd be missing

(verse)
Years later
Our daughter blessed us
With a grandson
So beautiful
And so handsome
Holding him in my arms
I was the proudest grandpa
You ever saw

(pre chorus)
At that very moment,
I saw his first few years
Flash before my eyes
First words and learning how to crawl
Playing catch with his favorite ball
First steps that are quite unsteady
Holding my hand
Calling me granddaddy

(chorus)
So right there
I hit my knees once more
And played with my grandson
There on the floor
And threw a thank you
Up to heaven
For all the blessings
I've been given
