In Pictures Lyrics
He's got her photograph
On a stand by his bed
Two on the mantle
And a thousands in his head
He can't believe how fast she's changing
It ain't supposed to be like this
Every time he looks at her
He sees how much he missed
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
Oh, it hurts him so
To watch his baby grow
He sends the money down
Does his best to do his part
But it can't compare
To what he pays with his heart
There's still one unanswered question
That weighs heavy on his mind
Will she ever understand
When he tells her why
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
It takes all he has to keep the hurt inside
What he wouldn't give if he could turn back time
He missed her first steps
Her first words
And I love you daddy
On a stand by his bed
Two on the mantle
And a thousands in his head
It ain't supposed to be like this
Every time he looks at her
He sees how much he missed
Her first words
And I love you daddy
To watch his baby grow
Does his best to do his part
But it can't compare
To what he pays with his heart
That weighs heavy on his mind
Will she ever understand
When he tells her why
Her first words
And I love you daddy
What he wouldn't give if he could turn back time
Her first words
And I love you daddy

This song is about a father who actually does his part to help in the needs of his children, but is never there for one reason or another, and sees his daughter only in pictures. The pain mentioned is quite great, and sincere. "Will she understand the reasons why?" in the song is something that goes through any estranged parent's mind.
