There are times to remember and times that I wish to forget. Our time together was tinged with love and regret. Oh my girl my sweet sweet little girl. Didn't I try to tell ya. That life was for living. Oh didn't I?. And wasn't I the guy who said. Stay away from that tribe. Oh wasn't it?. And didn't I try to tell ya. That stuff's gonna kill ya. Oh didn't I?. But you thought it was cool. And I was just an old fool. Oh look at ya. You left home for the city with Hollywood stars in your eyes. Now your mother God bless her cries herself to sleep every night. Oh my girl my sweet innocent girl. Didn't I search the streets. For the biggest [?] and cheese. Oh didn't I?. And didn't I try to guide ya. To a baptism of fire. Oh didn't I?. And didn't I try to warn ya. Bout that folk in California. Oh didn't I?. But you said daddy please don't worry. I got friends out there who love me. Now look at ya. Oh baby come back home we can work this out. There is not blame. I wanna hold you close and stroke your hair. And share your pain yeah. Didn't I do the best for you. Try to make you stay in school. Didn't I?. Once I was your hero. But I went from 10 to 0. Oh didn't I?. For a roll on the dice. To really pay the ultimate price. Oh didn't ya?. Now I stand by your bedside. Watching you fight for your life. Where's the innocence?. Where's the future?. Where's the beauty?. Where's the promise?. There are times to remember. And times that I wish to forget
