REASONS
AS I SIT BACK AND WATCH THE YEARS GO BY
IT’S FOR ME AND MY SON I WANT TO CRY
I KNOW IN A FEW YEARS HE’LL WANT TO KNOW
THE REASONS I MADE HIS DADDY GO
AND WHEN HE DOES I’LL HOLD HIS HAND
AND HOPE HE’S OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND
TO TELL HIM THE TRUTH WOULD BREAK HIS HEART
IT MIGHT EVEN FOREVER DESTROY A SMALL PART
BUT TO LIE TO HIM WOULDN’T BE FAIR
I’LL JUST HAVE TO CONVINCE HIM HIS DADDY
DID CARE.
