This is a true story...
D G D
It was seven years ago when I left for the last time
D A
The fights and nights of loneliness, I let the ties unbind
D G D
When I pulled out the driveway, she came runnin' after me
D A D
A frightened look in her eyes and a tear roll down her cheek
Chorus:
G D
Daddy, take me with you 'cause I don't wanna stay
G D A
Is there something I can do that won't make you go away
Bm Bm/A G
I need your love, I need your hugs, I don't wanna be apart
D A D
I know I won't be with you, that's why I give this heart
I looked into her open hands and what did I see
A plastic little heart, that she handed me
It wasn't much to look at but it meant a lot to her
The tears welled in my eyes when she spoke these words
Chorus
Well it's been almost 8 years since that day and in my mind
That simple selfless gesture will live always in time
And when I wonder if I'm the Dad she needed me to be
I look over at the heart, the best things in life are free
Chorus
