Declaime - Dearest Desirée Lyrics

From that night when you came
Pacing back and forth in the rain
Couldn't maintain
A young man trying to make a way
But was forced to stay away
When you touched Earth
On that special night of your birth
Please, accept my apology Desiree
I was in boot camp baby, US Navy
Yeah I sold out for a minute
'Cause life I just couldn't win it
And I ask my lieutenant
Please, let me witness my first
Don't let me miss part of being
Co-creator of heaven's work
All about you
Don't weary Desi, I got you
Never, forgot about you
Always in my thoughts, always in my prayers
Sometimes life just ain't fair
Beatiful Desiree

Dear Desiree
The letters I sent you they came back
The gold chain I got you came back
Why's your momma actin like that
Kept us at a distance
Missing you on Christmas
Darling Desiree, I know that one day
We will have a laugh, share a cry
One day before I die
Sometimes two people just can't get along
Me and your mom fought all night long
And every day
A stressful way
To live life
So I did what I thought was right
Yeah I skipped out
Packed up my things as if I didn't care about
This life that I helped to bring out
In this world
Either that, or spend time in jail
Domestic violence, this life's a hell
An empty shell
But love will prevail
Love child Desiree

Your heart, has to be empty too
You gotta feel the love I have for you
Dear daughter Desiree
Did you know I named you
You're my wish come true
I love you
Baby, understand
Music is how I stand
How I preach, reach and teach
Touch each and every soul
Without it I'm cold
Without it I grow old
And stand still
Never know my true will
Which is to speak the word
Of the Divine spark of light
In the name of?
Desiree

You know you got a brother now
Eyes and smile like mine, like ours
My love grows more
As time grows more
As life grows more
Dearest daughter Desiree
Love always
Daddy
PS, I love you
