In Pictures Songtext
von Alabama

I′ve got her photograph
On a stand by my bed
Two on the mantel
And thousands in my head

I can't believe how fast she′s growing
It ain't suppose to be like this
Every time I look at her
I see how much I've missed

I missed her first steps
And her first words
And "I love you, daddy"
Is something I seldom heard
Oh, it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures


I send the money down
Do my best to do my part
But it can′t compare
To what I pay with my heart
There′s still one answered question
That weighs heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why

I missed her first steps
And her first words
And "I love you, daddy"
Is something I seldom heard
Oh, it hurts me so
To watch my girl grow
Up in pictures

It takes all I have
To keep the tears inside
What I wouldn't give if
I could turn back time

I missed her first steps
Her first words
And "I love you, daddy"
Is something I seldom heard
Oh, it hurts me so
To watch my baby grow
Up in pictures
