about

shannon and i dated for two years, and over that time, her son braden grew from an eight month year old baby, to a walking talking 3 year old.

when we broke up, it was the saddest thing i'd ever gone through

luckily we've stayed in touch and great friends, and braden has grown into an amazing dude.

lyrics

you re not my son
she wasn t my wife
i m gonna mend all the weaknesses that kept you in my life
i m so down this mornin
and i m sorry again for failin

i m not your dad
baby don t cry
we re just two litte clouds in an expanding sky
i don t want to say goodbye
will you let me stay to see you fly

these are your wings
here is my heart
and i ll piece together like a work of art
there s red and orange on the page
up here that s you in outer space

you re not my son
i m not your dad
what kept us together was the best i d ever had
now its evenin
the sun has fallen
and it rises again in africa
