Oh my dear children
How I love you with my life
And that will never change
Though your mom is not my wife
It's true I promised you
That this would never come to be
Please forgive me
When people fall in love
They never see the day
When one will ask the other
To pack up and move away
And I know that I have told you
I am sorry for my part
There's nothing I can do now
But to tell you from my heart
There is no such thing as divorce
Between a father and his son
Between a daddy and his daughter
There's no such thing as divorce
No matter what has happened
No matter what will be
(There's no power that can make us
Anything but family)
There is no such thing as divorce
Between you and me
I know that sometimes
You are worried I will go
And at first I felt like running
But now you need to know
That when I looked down deep inside me
It did not take long to see
That, little ones, you are
The most important thing to me
Sometimes I cry over
The things I can't undo
And the words I never
Should have said in front of you
But I pray the good
Will somehow overcome the bad
And where I failed as a husband
I'll succeed as your dad
Oh my dear children
As you grow so I will pray
That I will always listen
To the things you'll need to say
For I will always be your daddy
I will answer when you call
And I will ask the Lord of heaven
To be a father to us all
