Missin' the Kid

I can't believe after all of these years I still miss you

Why won't your memory leave me the same way you did

Taking all but my pride honey one things for certain

Missing you's nothing compared to missing the kid

She was the light of my life she could brighten the darkness

If not for her we'd have nothing to show for it all

You took what's left of what once was my reason for livin'

Livin' without her is no reason for living at all

Someday shell ask you to answer a lot of old questions

What will you tell her about me if she wants to know

She was too young to remember the reason you left me

If you found a reason to tell her I'd sure like to know

I tell myself that it's all for the best if I don't try to see her

Seeing her now would not make up for all she's been through

Watching two people she once called her mother and father

Acting like stranger that's something I just could not do

I can't believe after all of these years I still miss you

Why won't your memory leave me the same way you did

Taking all but my pride one things for certain

Missing you is nothing compared to missing the kid
