Wow, thats crazy its been three years already
If you were here we'd probably have cake and confetti
I still wonder sometimes if you'd be a girl or a boy
I'd probably have to run to the store to pick up some toys
I'll never know what day would've been your birthday
I'm sorry that we rejected that as something you could say
Your mommy and I were young, we were both full of fear
I really wish we all could of celebrated your 3rd year
You know at the time the decision seemed very simple
Be a father, pssh, I'm still dealing with pimples
But now, I regret that decision every single day
I want to wish you what could've been a happy birthday
................................................................................................
Today could've been your special day
I'm sorry that we had to take it away
I think of all the things that could've been
All the fun, family, and closest friends
I'm sorry about the decision that we made
If I could go back I'd surely make that trade
Because there's one thing I've always wanted to say
And that's to wish you a happy 3rd birthday
..............................................................................................
You would've been 14 now, first day of high school
I'd advise you to be yourself, "you're already cool"
You'd cringe after I say that, my opinion doesn't matter
You would be to focused on climbing up the social ladder.
If you were a boy, I'd hope you were interested in sports
You'd probably go through a spurt that'd make me look short
If you were a girl, I'd hope you'd be very active too
It would've been really cool if we all could've met you
You have a little sister now, I wish y'all could've met
We've got a great family here that includes our new pet
But I'm still torn apart inside, people have no clue
Cause the only person missing in this picture would be you
......................................................................................................
Today could've been your special day

All the fun, family, and closest friends

Because there's one thing I've always wanted to say
And that's to wish you a happy 14th birthday

You're 18 now, it would be time to go to college
No not to party, but to learn; gain some knowledge
I'm sure you would've made the entire family proud
And at your graduation your grandma was probably real loud
There's been some bad news that swarmed us like a typhoon
Your mommy is really sick, she'll probably meet you soon
Don't worry baby, your sister and I will recover
I hope your excited that you get to meet your mother
The tears I've shed over your mom and you have been plenty
She'd often cry about you, so I'd wipe her tears gently
If we could restart everything, we could've been more happy
18 years ago we should of welcomed you to our family
It really wouldn't matter if you were a boy or a girl
You would've had the potential to really help this world
My regret for robbing you of life will never be through
Hopefully you're looking down and saying, "it's ok daddy I forgive you"
Your mother and I regret this decision every single day
So I told her when she sees you, to wish you a happy birthday
