April's Dad Lyrics

APRIL AND HER MOTHER HAVE TO MAKE IT ON THEIR OWN
ONE WORKS TWO JOBS AND ONE IS MUCH TOO YOUNG TO LEAVE ALONE
HER FATHER LEFT THEM BOTH FOR GOOD THE FIRST TIME THINGS GOT BAD
SO THEY HAD TO LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER WITHOUT APRIL'S DAD
APRIL'S SUCH A PRETTY GIRL SHE HAS HER MOTHER'S EYES
I LOVE TO SEE THEM LAUGHIN' AND IT HURTS ME WHEN THEY CRY
I FELL IN LOVE WITH BOTH OF THEM I GUESS I GOT IT BAD
'CAUSE TONIGHT I'M ASKING APRIL'S MOM, "CAN I BE APRIL'S DAD?"

CHORUS:
I WANNA SING TO HER EACH MORNING READ HER STORIES EVERY NIGHT
AFTER SHE IS SOUND ASLEEP I'LL HOLD HER MAMA TIGHT
I'M GONNA BE THE TRUEST LOVER HER MOTHER EVER HAD
AND I'LL ALWAYS DO THE BEST I CAN AT BEIN' APRIL'S DAD
WE TALKED ABOUT FOREVER, FOR BETTER AND FOR WORSE
SHE SAID, "BEFORE I SAY 'I DO' CAN I ASK APRIL FIRST?"
WE WOKE HER UP TOGETHER AND SAT DOWN ON HER BED
SHE WIPED THE SLEEP OUT OF HER EYES AND THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID
SHE SAID, "I NEVER KNEW MY DADDY, BUT I KNOW HE WENT AWAY
MY MAMA SMILES WHEN YOU'RE AROUND HERE AND YOU KNOW FUN GAMES TO PLAY
I'D LOVE IF YOU'D COME LIVE WITH US YEAH THAT WOULD MAKE ME GLAD."
NOW IT'S APRIL AND HER MOTHER AND APRIL'S BRAND NEW DAD

I'M GONNA SING TO HER EACH MORNING READ HER STORIES EVERY NIGHT
AND AFTER SHE IS SOUND ASLEEP I'LL HOLD HER MAMA TIGHT
I'M GONNA BE THE TRUEST LOVER HER MOTHER EVER HAD
AND I'LL ALWAYS DO THE BEST I CAN AT BEIN' APRIL'S DAD
