In loving memory of Leroy Daniel Corbin

Watched him grow from a little boy
with toothless smiles and backyard toys
Those memories, you'll hold forever dear
Watched him grow into a man
When he grew hair and made big plans
Never thought that you'd outlive his years
Watched him stare down the church's aisle
Beautiful bride that made him smile
Can't believe that now he isn't here

What about his Momma? What about his Dad?
What about the good times? And the ones He'll never have?
I'm asking why, Jesus? Was this in your plan?
I don't understand it, but I know its in your hands

Watched him stutter and take a risk
He was new at this, he would admit
Those memories, of falling so in love
Watched him grow into a man
You were starting off and making plans
Never thought you'd lose him at so young
Watched him cradle your little girls
Came home from work, the were his world
They're confused to why he isn't here

(You're asking) What about our children?
What about me?
What about our life here? What will we come to be?
I'm asking why, Jesus? Was this in your plan?
I don't understand it, please hold me in your hands

He watched them grow into little girls
With toothless smiles and ballet twirls
Those memories he'd hold forever dear
He imagined what it be
When they'd grow up with their Momma's beauty
Wondered how many boys that they would want to see
He thought about when he'd walk them down the aisle
They'd hold his arm and through his tears he'd smile
His heart would break cause they would have to leave

What about his daughters?
Now they don't have a Dad
Where's our daddy? They would ask

Oh why, Jesus?
What about his daughters?
