Danny

Danny Allen, my second son, my baby boy

I fell in love from day one, you bring me so much joy

I know you're quiet and reserved, but I can see your heart

I've loved my little Bubba right from the very start

I know I wasn't perfect, I was working all the time

Thought that giving you the world meant chasing every dime

Money was no object, but my heaviest regret

Is the time I should've spent with you that I can't get back yet

But I'm so proud of you, my little Bubba

You and Shawn are the reasons I'm still breathing

God blessed me with a son who pulled me from the dark

My whole world is wrapped up in your quiet heart

I'll always be right here, no matter what you do

Danny Allen, I will always love you

When your dad wasn't around, Michael stepped right in

Taught you how to show respect and be a better man

Showed you how to weld and fix a broken four-wheeler

Turning wrenches on the cars, he was a steady teacher

Throwing the football in the fading autumn light

Cheering for the Dallas Cowboys on a Sunday night

He gave you the tools to build a life so strong

And showed you how to stand up when things go wrong

You were only twelve when cancer took him away

I wanted to pretend, I couldn't face the day

I'm sorry I couldn't help you carry all that grief

I was falling to pieces, hiding in my disbelief

But you and your big brother Shawn pulled me back to reality

Without you two beside me, I'd have given up completely

I'm so proud of you, my little Bubba

You and Shawn are the reasons I'm still breathing

God blessed me with a son who pulled me from the dark

My whole world is wrapped up in your quiet heart

I'll always be right here, no matter what you do

Danny Allen, I will always love you
