Lyrics
[Verse]
As the sun sets on this small town street
I watch her walk away, my heart skipping a beat
She's holding his hand, she calls him "Daddy"
But my blood still runs through her veins, it's hard to believe
[Verse 2]
In my dreams, I see her smiling at me
But reality cuts deep, it's a bitter melody
I used to tuck her in, sing her lullabies
Now I'm just a stranger, lost in her sparkling eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, the fading shadows remind me of what's gone
I'm just a ghost in her life, my heart sings a mournful song
I'll always be her father, though I'm not there
The pain in my soul, it's more than I can bear
[Verse]
I was just nineteen
the day she was born,
Too young to be a man,
and so she moved on.
I made the hard choice to walk away,
Not knowing the heavy cost I'd pay
Oh, the fading shadows remind me of what's gone I'm just a ghost in her life, my heart sings a mournful song
I'll always be her father, when I'm not there
The pain in my soul, it's more than I can bear
[Verse]
In the blink of an eye, her life flashed on my screen,
First day at the beach to her sweet sixteen.
My Tears streamed like rivers down blue Jean mountains,
My heart shattered into pieces no ones counting.
[chorus]
Oh,
the fading shadows remind me of what's gone
I'm just a ghost in her life, my heart sings a mournful song
I'll always be her father, When I'm not there
The pain in my soul, it's more than I can bear
[chorus]
Oh,
the fading shadows remind me of what's gone
I'm just a ghost in her life, my heart sings a mournful song
I'll always be her father, When I'm not there
The pain in my soul, it's more than I can bear
[outro music]
As the sunsets on this small town street…
