| There’s a set of tiny footprints
|
| And a blank space on the paper
|
| Where your name aught to be
|
| I told him I would tell him later
|
| The one and only picture
|
| Of your son upon your shoulders
|
| Used to sit beside his bed
|
| Now there’s a little plastic superman instead
|
| He don’t ask about you anymore
|
| He ain’t waiting by the telephone
|
| Or staring at his door
|
| But somewhere inside he hides questions
|
| I don’t have answers for
|
| But he don’t ask about you anymore
|
| I showed him how to throw a football
|
| I taught him how to hit a nail
|
| You’re teaching him how to run from problems
|
| And that life’s no fairytale
|
| We used to talk about you
|
| When I’d tuck him in at night
|
| Now he thanks god for all his blessings
|
| His friends, his mom, and his bike
|
| He don’t ask about you anymore
|
| He ain’t waiting by the telephone
|
| Or staring at his door
|
| But somewhere inside he hides questions
|
| I don’t have answers for
|
| But he don’t ask about you anymore
|
| But he’ll know how to treat a lady
|
| He won’t ever leave his baby
|
| He’s gonna be a hundred times the man
|
| I always dreamed you’d be
|
| Even if its all on me
|
| He don’t ask about you anymore
|
| He ain’t waiting by the telephone
|
| Or staring at his door
|
| But somewhere inside he hides questions
|
| I don’t have answers for
|
| But he don’t ask about you anymore |
