I see you in your child’s face
And know just what you’d do
You’d smile and hug him gently
So I’ve done that for you

I see you when he stares at me
My thoughts long miles away
He looks for words of love and praise
I tell him what you’d say

I see him in his baseball suit
You must have looked the same
I watch him swinging nervously
Waiting for the game

They tried to win the opener
I really thought they’d do it
He told me that they would’ve
If only dad came to it

I didn’t have an answer
He told me not to cry
I see you in your child’s face
Is it any wonder why?
