when you come around

you know what my daddy's name is?, what is your daddy's name?, his name is love. well i'd like to say you're the one i look up to, and all my life i've always tried to be like you, your little man, your biggest fan, but then i'd just be wishin' for what i never had, a lovin' father instead of just a weekend dad, with liquor on his breath, and be scared to death, when you come around i'd like to see my daddy, and not some wild-eyed stranger, who shows up once in a while, a soul that's found all that he's been missin', and you finally turn that corner in your life, each night i pray that people see the day, when you come around, and lord knows we'd have a lot of catchin' up to do, 'cause there's so many things i'd love to share with you, maybe take a walk, a little time to talk, you could call us up and spend some time with your grandsons, tell 'em stories, take 'em fishin' while they're still young, we could finally be a real family, when you come around i'd like to see my daddy, and not some wild-eyed stranger, who shows up once in a while, a soul that's found that there's still time for livin', and you finally turn that corner in your life, each night i pray that people see the day, when you come around, to have you in my life would be a dream come true, for me to say "i love you" and to hear you say it too, when you come around i'd like to see my daddy, and not some wild-eyed stranger, who shows up once in a while, a soul that's found all it takes to be forgiven, is to finally turn that corner in your life, oh i can't wait to be standin' there that day, when you come around
