There's something I'd like to say to you
I hope you understand
Just how much I'd like to be
With my little man
But the time that we spend apart
Is never wasted time
Because I'm with you everyday
Inside my mind

Chorus:
We've taken walks had man to man talks
About the things that you should know
In my mind I spent hours
Just teaching you to throw
We said our prayers and hugged goodnight
Never wanting to let go
In my mind I do what daddies do
Watching their little man grow

In my mind I answered all the questions
You wanted to know
Where do babies come from
What makes glowworms glow
I 'd say goodnight and tuck you in
And waited by the door
And I would watch you as you slept
Till I couldn't take no more

Chorus:
We've taken walks had man to man talks
About the things that you should know
In my mind I spent hours
Just teaching you to throw
We said our prayers and hugged goodnight
Never wanting to let go
In my mind I do what daddies do
Watching their little man grow

I was there each time that you were sick
At least I tried to be
And I was there to pick you up
Each time you skinned your knee
I'd wake up when you had bad dreams
And make the monsters flee
And I would hold you till you slept
Just my little man and me

Chorus:
We've taken walks had man to man talks
About the things that you should know
In my mind I spent hours
Just teaching you to throw
We said our prayers and hugged goodnight
Never wanting to let go
In my mind I do what daddies do
Watching their little man grow
