If Baby Could Walk

I wish I could write you a happier song
I wish I could talk about being in love
With a woman you know cares for you so
And often still wonders if you're coming home

If baby could walk
Would she be talking and running around
Breaking our hearts again
Wanting to be what she wants and believes
And seizing the day, in ways that we'll never attain

I wish I could tell you how sorry I am
For mistakes that I know are to hard to forgive
I wish that I could have been a much better dad
But you came too early and mommy went mad

And I sighed in relief, I have to admit that I was afraid
A second rate chicken shit
Who wants you to be, what you want and believe
And seizes the day in ways that we'll never attain, oh attain

Snow won't stop falling down
Mary goes round and round
And our hearts never beat so loud
As when... Mary goes

If baby could walk
Would she be talking and running around
Breaking our hearts again
Wanting to be what she wants and believes
And seizing the day, in ways that we'll never attain
How long must I take this, how long must I break for the world?
For a girl?
I promised you nothing but still i need something for words
For the words

Snow won't stop falling down
Mary goes round and round
And our hearts never beat so loud
As when... Mary goes
