The day you were born, I was there Took your first steps, I was there First day of school, bought you a new pair of shoes to wear Now you're all grown up and you know where you're at Wonder if you even care I know one day I would have to let you go Never thought it would hurt me, hurt me so I was told I had to spread your wings and fly Never knew how much it would make me cry All I want to know is before you go Where are you now? When have I needed you most? Time has slipped away, my body begins to break Where are you now? Thought you'd be here for me when I needed you most Where are you now? When I'm gone to heaven and you're here alone You can ask where has my dad gone? You can ask where has my daddy gone?
