A Better Man Than Me

A better man than me I was married to someone else before We had two daughters of our own But you stole their momma's heart away And destroyed my happy home She took my children far away And made them hard for me to see The reason for this, she simply said You were a better man than me A hundred thousand miles I drove Each time that law allowed Just to spend this precious little time And make my daughters proud But the words she said, hung heavy And my heart somehow believed That it didn't matter how hard I tried You were a better man than me But your marriage to her soon ended After your son had been concieved And fate brought he and I together Like nobody would believe His innocence unblemished A broken home was not his fault So compassion made me his uncle And many lessons he was taught But even with all this time together And no doubt that he loves me In his eyes, with you never there Your a better man than me So I make thissolemn promice Even with all these faults of mine To do my part, and help raise your son And see he turns out fine And when he becomes a man one day And is the person that I "should be" I will take a lot of pride in knowing That he's a better man than me
