I sit here all alone
in this rocking chair you made for us
Nursing our new born baby boy
My mind drifts back to that day
And I wonder........
If I knew then what I know now
Would I really consider
making you a Daddy
I see your smile, I can taste your kiss
I feel your arms around me now
The warmth of your touch I can feel today
You pay the bill, we get our coats
We decide to walk, the night is warm
They're yelling at each other now
He raises his hand, she's hits the ground
She's crying now and he's so mad
You rush in and help her to her feet
I sit here all alone
in this rocking chair you made for us
Nursing our new born baby boy
My mind drifts back to that day
And I wonder........
If I knew then what I know now
Would I really consider
making you a Daddy
The shots ring out in my ears
I feel the fear, I see the blood
I start to scream, he starts to kick
The lights are bright, the sirens loud
I hold you close, they pull me off
I hear them shout, someone get her out of here
I don't understand what's going on
I need to feel with you near me now
I sit here all alone
in this rocking chair you made for us
Nursing our new born baby boy
My mind drifts back to that day
And I wonder........
If I knew then what I know now
Would I really consider
making you a Daddy
She yelling at me now
She says its time for me to push
I plead with her, it's not time
You see his Daddy is not with us yet
She takes my hand and says its time
You must push for your baby sakes
My heart breaks a little with every push
Still I stare at the door
Sure that you will come to me
I am all alone and so afraid
This is not the way it suppose to be
I need you here to help me through
I sit here all alone
in this rocking chair you made for us
Nursing our new born baby boy
My mind drifts back to that day
And I wonder........
If I knew then what I know now
Would I really consider
making you a Daddy
Now he's in my arms, he fills my heart
I am looking down into your eyes
I am not alone anymore
I feel your embrace with his every breath
Laughing now I realize
He's got your curly mop of golden hair
I sit here all alone
in this rocking chair you made for us
Nursing our new born baby boy
My mind drifts back to that day
And I know now that
If I knew then what I know now
I would still make you a Daddy...
