| Look August 23rd, how could I forget it?
|
| Getting ready in my suite, it’s the morning of my wedding
|
| Invited all my legends, man it’s set to be epic
|
| And then I got that message I was dreading
|
| My momma said it, «Andy I don’t think your father gon' come»
|
| I just laugh, said «oh well,"and tried to be numb
|
| I learned to stop getting hopes up
|
| As a kid, growing up, that made the let down easy, when he didn’t show up
|
| But deep down I had this flicker of hope
|
| This one time he pull it together, make a effort but nope
|
| I’m standing at the altar, he nowhere in sight
|
| How I’m thinking about him now instead of my wife
|
| Best man Ray to my right said «you'll be alright
|
| At least you know you’re gonna be smashing tonight»
|
| Then the doors open in the back, wearing all white
|
| This the first day of the rest of our life
|
| Father by her side while she came down the aisle
|
| She’s was looking all ow, then we exchanged vows
|
| Long winded self, should have passed me a towel
|
| We both said «I do,"we team Mineo now
|
| So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo
|
| But everyone, everyone ain’t really in the picture
|
| So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo
|
| But everyone, everyone ain’t really in the picture
|
| Now the ceremonies done, I know it sound dumb
|
| But I thought he might come because the night was still young
|
| I couldn’t feel this space was like a hundred to play
|
| I kept it just in case he praying he show up late
|
| Then I wait, and I wait
|
| I looked Cris in the face and tell her nothings gonna ruin our day
|
| I hate the fact I still love you
|
| I wish that I could turn you off, take the cord to my heart and just unplug you
|
| Damn man, you my dad, what I did to ya?
|
| To make you not love, mean what I should to ya
|
| Look I don’t understand, I’d jump off a bridge, I’d take a bullet to the rib
|
| before I’d hurt my kid
|
| You know that Mark told me something that I won’t ever forget
|
| Sounded just like you, that’s how I know it’s
|
| Legit
|
| You know you go to Andy’s football games but not lacrosse
|
| Why, you told him you don’t like that sport
|
| Well do you like me, it’s sad I got to ask
|
| You either cry or you try to learn to laugh
|
| Look I figured I’d be past this hurt by now
|
| But after all this time it’s only worse right now
|
| 'Cause when you bury emotions, you bury them alive
|
| They only come back stronger, somewhere later in your life
|
| And on the honeymoon, I got your text
|
| But I ain’t reply
|
| Said «congratulation"like what a guy
|
| I ain’t ask you to be perfect, that’s only God
|
| I just wished you would have tried
|
| So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo
|
| But everyone, everyone ain’t really in the picture
|
| So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo
|
| But everyone, everyone ain’t really in the picture
|
| God grant me the serenity
|
| To accept the things I cannot change
|
| Courage to change the things I can
|
| And wisdom to know the difference
|
| Living one day at a time
|
| Enjoying one moment at a time
|
| Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace
|
| Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world
|
| As it is, not as I would have it
|
| Trusting that He will make all things right
|
| If I surrender to His Will
|
| That I may be reasonably happy in this life
|
| And supremely happy with You
|
| Forever in the next
|
| Amen, amen, amen |
