vs
I'm sitting here with a hole in my shoe
And a faded black and white photo of you
Tears streaming down my cheeks
All of those years, all of those weeks
vs
I could have held you in my arms
Watched you grow, succumbed to your charms
But the drink had me in its grasp
From the very fist day to the very last
P/C
Your mother took you away
On that cold cold lonely day
I know it was the right thing to do
Still it broke my heart in two
Chorus:
Forgive me for letting you down
Forgive me for not being around
I've written this letter to you
Explaining the things I've been through
I hope it reaches you safe
You read it before I'm in my grave
vs
I pray you've not been acting to wild
And maybe even have your own child
Are settled in your own little home
With a cute little dog and a car of your own
vs
I know that your mom has passed on
It was a very sad day when that news came along
But I'm begging you for the very first time
If you think of me make those thoughts kind
Chorus:
Forgive me for letting you down
Forgive me for not being around
I hope that your dreams come true
And the good lord looks out for you
Maybe at some future date
I'll finally see your face
