The time had finally come to end our marriage
The love that we once shared had to end
And we knew it would be hard
to tell our little daughter Daddy would be moving out today
So we waited till we could wait no longer
Then we tried to be as gentle as we could
be
And after I had kissed her and quickly walked
away She followed me outside and called to me
She said, Daddy,
please tell me
Her eyes so filled with tears she could not
see Now that you've stopped loving Mommy
Does it mean
you've stopped loving me?
And the words she uttered
cut right through me And I realized what she must be going through
To know that those two people whose love had brought her life
Were strangers and there was nothing she could do
And I knew that my words of reassurance Would
be the most important words I'd ever say
So I tenderly and lovingly put my arms around her
And I asked my God to please show me the way
I said, Honey,
your mom and I both love you
Much more than you could ever really know
And the love that she and I had for each other
Still lives in you and with the years will grow
And don't ever think,
just because I'm leaving
That your Daddy doesn't love his precious little girl
I'll always be here, Honey,
if you ever need me
So you'll never again have to say those words
She said, Daddy,
please tell me
Her eyes so filled with tears she could not see
Now that you've stopped loving Mommy
Does it mean you've stopped loving me?
Daddy,
please don't stop loving me
