Ann Claire - Good Enough

from Honkytonk Princess by Princess Ann Claire

/

lyrics

He’d do anything not to be so mad
As he tried to say his goodbyes to his Dad
They’d never cried, he’d be damned if he would today
So much pride and anger held them like a chain
Then the old man took his last shot
And he took it all away:

You need to know I love you
I never really said that I do
But every time you’d win at all, and every time you’d take a fall
Don’t think that I didn’t see
I was proud of you as I could be
Just wish I could have told you all along
It’s taken my whole life to say this much
You were always good enough

So he walked back in the house where he grew up
Saw the toys passed on to his little boy, a red fire truck
He’d said “win, come first, don’t make me ashamed
If you lose, don’t let them see your pain
And then he looked into his son’s eyes
He said it’s time for me to change

You need to know I love you
I never really said that I do
But every time you’d win at all and every time you’d take a fall
Don’t think that I didn’t see
I was proud of you as I could be
Just wish I could have told you all along
It’s taken my whole life to say this much
You were always good enough

It takes faith and forgiveness; we’ve all got wings
It takes grace, nothing less than a miracle
To let light in

You need to know I love you
I never really said that I do
But every time you’d take a fall and every time you’d win at all
Don’t think that I didn’t see
I was proud of you as I could be
Just wish I could have told you all along
It’s taken my whole life to say this much
It’s taken my whole life to say this much
You were always good enough
You were more than good enough
