Letter To My Kids

Ya, I gotta get real personal on this ya know, for me [Incomprehensible] screamin' out two things When I was young my ambition in life Was to finish way ahead of the game Such a shame ya'll payin' the price In this race of fortune and fame I really feel apologetic inside Though you'd never think to give me the blame It's when I look into your lives I wonder if it was really worth all the pain Now I know what it take in the heights of mistakes Is it there in the mind of a child? Though it's all for our sakes, still my heart, how it breaks Every time that I see your smile, check it Conversation on the phone is fine But for me it could never replace Being there to spend quality time Tuck you in to see the smile on your face So when you're old enough to read these lines I hope you never find yourself in my place I hope you never feel as lonely as I And miss the warmth of your child's embrace Now I know what it take in the heights of mistakes Is it there in the mind of a child? No, no, no, no Though it's all for our sakes, still my heart, how it breaks Every time that I see your smile Now I know what it takes, in the heights of mistakes Is it there in the mind of a child? No, no, no, no Though it's all for our sakes, still my heart, how it breaks Every time that I see your smile Now I know what it takes, in the heights of mistakes Is it there in the mind of a child? Though it's all for our sakes, still my heart, how it breaks Every time that I see your smile --- Letter to My Kids - Shaggy
