We′re gonna dedicate this next song to my father, Joe Mineo, the legend

Look, August 23rd, how could I forget it?Getting ready in my suite, it's the morning of my wedding

Invited all my legends, man, it′s set to be epic

And then I got that message, I was dreading

My momma said it, "Andy I don't think your father gon' come"

I just laugh, said "Oh well", and tried to be numb

I learned to stop getting hopes up

As a kid, growing up, that made the letdown easier when he didn′t show up

But, deep down I had this flicker of hope

This one time he pull it together, make a effort, but nope

I′m standing at the altar, he nowhere in sight

How I'm thinking about him now instead of my wife?

Best man, Ray, to my right said, "You′ll be alright

At least you know you're gonna be smashing tonight"

Then the doors open in the back, wearing all white

This the first day of the rest of our life

Her father by her side while she came down the aisle

She′s was looking all wow, then we exchanged vows

Long-winded self, should've passed me a towel

We both said "I do", we team Mineo now

So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo

But everyone, everyone ain′t really in the picture

So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo

But everyone, everyone ain't really in the picture

Now the ceremony's done, I know it sound dumb

But I thought he might come ′cause the night was still young

I could′ve filled his space, it's like a hunnid a plate

I kept two just in case prayin′ he'd show up late

And I wait

I looked Cris in the face and told her nothing′s gonna ruin our day

I hate the fact I still love you

I wish that I could turn you off, take the cord to my heart and just unplug you

Damn, man, you my dad, what I did to ya?

To make you not love me, mean what I should to ya?

Look, I don't understand, I′d jump off a bridge

I'd take a bullet to the rib before I'd hurt my kid

You know that Mark told me something I won′t never forget

Sounded just like you, that′s why I know it's legit

He said, "You go to Andy′s football games, but not lacrosse

Why? "You told him you don't like that sport

Well, do you like me? It′s sad I gotta ask

You either cry or you try to learn to laugh

Look, I figured I'd be past all this hurt by now

But after all this time it′s only worse right now

'Cause when you bury emotions, you bury them alive

They only come back stronger, somewhere later in your life

And on the honeymoon, I got your text, but I ain't reply

Said "Congratulations" like, what a guy

At least you tried

So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo

But everyone, everyone ain′t really in the picture

So, everyone, everyone smile for the family photo

But everyone, everyone ain′t really in the picture

God, grant me the serenity

To accept the things that I cannot change

Courage to change the things that I can

And the wisdom to know the difference

Living one day at a time

Enjoying one moment at a time

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace

Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is

Not as I would have it

But trusting that You will make all things right

If I surrender to Your Will

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life

And supremely happy with You forever in the next

Amen

Amen, Amen

Amen
