Bundled up in pink blankets, we brought her home that day,
A sweet smile on a small round chubby face
I was amazed to feel Johnna melt my heart away
She rapped her tiny hand around my little finger
But now she doesn’t care for me at all
(Chorus)
I know the past is the past, nothing there that I can change
And regrets won’t ever bring Johnna back to me
I’ve got another family
And I’ve got a brand new wife
But I’ve got a daughter missing in the middle of my life
She was named for her grand dad John who’d just passed away
Johnna was a funny little mystery in my eyes
As she began to grow, getting smarter everyday
My pride sure grew with her and it showed
There was nothing too good, or good enough for her
(Bridge)
Divorce is not a pretty thing, the blame belongs on me
A mothers broken heart can break a daughter’s
Trembling tears and fears and endless sleepless nights
When I wasn’t around
Her little world was upside down
I know she holds me responsible and rightfully so
The last time that I saw her, she seemed to be ok
So tall and tan and beautiful with long flowing hair
But I still can’t forgive you, I could almost hear her say
Pain was on her lips and deep-set in her eyes
The harm I’d done had cut me once again
The years have rolled on by, don’t feel the loss any less
Still hoping Johnna will have a change of heart
Don’t have a number I can call, don’t have her address
Is she married? Have kids? A boyfriend? I can’t say
Wonder if she ever wonders about me
(Chorus)
I know the past is the past, nothing there that I can change
And regrets won’t ever bring Johnna back to me
I’ve got another family
I’ve got a brand new wife
And I’ve had a daughter missing in the middle of my life
But now I’ve got a daughter missing at the end of my life
Johnna is still missing at the end of my life
I love you, Johnna. Please call me -804 776-7077
