Lyrics

I had a dream yesterday, afternoon sleep
Sunshine seepin' through to my sheets
Comfortably comforted by the comforter that consumed me
Deep into my thoughts of color imagery
The voice said daddy with a smile so big
Never seen her before but tell she's my kid
Straight brown hair, with bright green eyes
A little piece of heaven, just a nice surprise
Maybe, 5 or 6, grass stained knees
A bright yellow t-shirt with stitched honeybees
Singin' ABC's and countin' to 10
Swear to god I'd never love me a woman again
And then this, a little piece of innocence
"Sayin' what'cha gonna be when ya grow up papa?"
And askin' me "where did mom go?"
"Baby bear, I don't know"
But she must have been great
If you were our mistake
And there's no way you can make God out of hate
She's so pretty and she sits so softly
How the hell can she love me
"What's mommy like?"
And the story begins, I explain how we all just started as friends
"She was beautiful, just like you
And there wasn't a thing in this world she couldn't do
She use to warm her feet under me
And I'd rap to you while you grew up in her belly
And she could hug every single pain away
And make sunshine on a rainy day
We were just kids then, and a bit insane
But out of all our beauty is where you came
We use to fly kites and play in the grass
And every moment that we spent was such a blast
Trips to California, dancin' in the ocean
Sneakin' into movies always hand holdin'
And she would move with the grace of the wind
Open up her arms and let ya fall in."
"Did'cha love mommy?" "More than she would ever know."
"And I would tell her come rain, hell, or snow
There wasn't a thing in this world I wouldn't do
And I loved her almost as much as you
And there are some days when I miss her ways
But with you around, life's just been a haze
Cloudy and beautiful, a bit unusual
And I sure hope you don't grow up to fast
Sometimes I can hear her laugh 'cause everything you do is so her
My little reminder that life can be amazing, with you."
Something changes
Remember, it's a dream
She's a bit older now, maybe 17 or 18
Sings a song, the best you've ever heard
God's a funny man 'cause he got me a new bird
And this one's as pretty as could be
Still got me thinkin'
"How the hell can she love me?"
She's got a boyfriend now and thinks it's serious
Her little brains workin', still so curious
"How did you know mommy was the one?"
"Baby-bear, it was a dream
I took a nap one day, afternoon sleep
Comfortably comforted by the comforter that consumed me
Deep into my thoughts of color imagery
And you showed up
I know it sounds odd
But for the first time in life I saw God
Everything that I loved with a piece of me
I knew she was the one the moment you called me daddy."
Everything that I loved with a piece of me
I knew she was the one the moment you called me daddy
Everything that I loved with a piece of me
I knew she was the one the moment you called me daddy
Everything that I loved
