lyrics

Never thought I'd see the day, romantic Love has flown away
Not the kind of life that I had planned
My children make it all OK when they smile and laugh and wanna play
It's a daddy's Love I understand

It's a new reality and sometimes gets the best of me
Longing for a Love that I can't have
But when I wake up at dawn and hear my boy play his songs
It's a daddy's Love I understand

It's a daddy's Love I understand
When my daughter takes hold of my hand
And tells me that she Loves me more than anything
It's a daddy's Love I understand
And when I see my little boy discover life so full of joy
It's a daddy's Love I understand

So I put romantic Love on hold might be gone for good I just don't know
I've become a different kind of man
It's a daddy's Love I understand

Living in these wonder years I sometimes shed a tear
When I think of them all grown up and gone
But for now they call me daddy and this fills my heart with happy
It's a daddy's Love I understand

Yes romantic Love has flown away I hope that it comes back someday
But now I have a Love that has no end
It's a daddy's Love I understand
