Loved You Before You Knew

I always wanted

To be a father

When I was young

I lived with my mama

She taught me strength

And how to care

Showed me a love beyond compare

Now years have passed

The seasons turned

A different kind of lesson learned

And everything my mama said

I know somehow

Because I got my own children now

And I'ma always be there for 'em

You know I'ma always care for 'em

When I'm not around

It's a rare moment

So whenever you get scared

I want you to hear this chorus

And know that Daddy workin'

Hard for ya

And it's a tune

That I always knew

And I know you

Won't believe it's true

But I'm tellin' you

I've loved you before you knew

It's just the truth

And I wish you knew

The love I have for you

And it's a tune

That I always knew

And I know you

Won't believe it's true

But I'm tellin' you

I've loved you before you knew

It's just the truth

And I wish you knew

The love I have for you

So when they laugh and when they cry

Beneath the vast and endless sky

I see her strength reflected there

A love I now can truly share

This precious gift, a joyful art

Forever beating in my

Heart"

And it's a tune

That I always knew

And I know you

Won't believe it's true

But I'm tellin' you

I've loved you before you knew

It's just the truth

And I wish you knew

The love I have for you

And it's a tune

That I always knew

And I know you

Won't believe it's true

But I'm tellin' you

I've loved you before you knew
