My Number One

Daddy held on till the day he died

believed a man should never cry

grew up that way he lost that day

his hands were shaking as they lowered down

those precious bones into the ground

he still felt pride

but he knew inside

from the alter to the grave

she didn’t ever hear him say

you’re number one

more than anything

more than life to me

you’re my number one

so he went to school never came home

cause in his heart he felt all alone

like no one cared and people just stared

so he raised the gun and shot three rounds

and watched their lives fall to the ground

then he took his own

they never came home

from the cradle to the grave

he needed somebody to say

you’re number one

more than anything

more than life to me

my number one my number one

I’m ashamed to say it’s been awhile

since I told you how your pretty smile

lights up my day and if you went away

that my world would never be the same

and I thank God that he spoke your name

and gave you to me you’ll always be

my number one

more than anything

you’re more than life to me

my number one

more than just my heart

and I loved you from the start

my number one
