In Pictures Lyrics

I've got her photograph on the stand by my bed
Two on the mantle and thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast she's growing it ain't supposed to be like this
Everytime I look at her I see how much I've missed

I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures

I sent her money down do my best to do my part
But it can't compare to what I pay with my heart
There's still one unanswered question weighing heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand the reasons why

I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my girl grow up in pictures

It takes all I have to keep the tears inside
What I wouldn't give if I could turn back time

I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so to watch my baby grow up in pictures

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sad song about a father missing out on his daughter's formative years. I wonder if he is supposed to be in prison.
