Girl, I sing this song for you   For the miseries I've put you through   For the moods I can't explain   For the sunny days I've spoiled with rain      Please forgive me if you can   Girl, you know that I'm a troubled man   Girl, you know that I'm a troubled man      Child, I sing this verse for you   For the duties I have failed to do   For the times I wasn't there   Times like broken toys, beyond repair      Please forgive me if you can   Child, your daddy was a troubled man   Child, your daddy is a troubled man      God in Heaven, hear my plight   On my darkness, shed eternal light   I am weak, You are strong   I can't count the times when I've done wrong      Please forgive me if You can   Lord, You know that I'm a troubled man   Lord, You know that I'm a troubled man   Lord, You know that I'm a troubled man
