I hope you remember me I was your daddy once Wearing the sailor cap and dirty nails To you I'm just a picture on your Mother's mantlepiece Who chose to fight the good fight in Time to fail Into battle And in your shadow Your daddy loves you still Yes I do I never thought it'd be so hard to See you grow so fast And turn into the man I used to be But I hope you have more sense Than I in matters such as these Medals don't mean shit when a Family is lost at sea Into battle And in your shadow Your daddy loves you still Yes he does Yes he does I save every moment i've reached out And almost touched you But they all fade away must be a bad memory
