How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause

What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was

Knowing that I´m gonna live my whole life without him

Magazines are writing stuff but I don´t ever read them
Am
Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
C G
That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
Am
I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
C G
Don´t you know I miss the times when we used to hang
Am
Before twenty deep depended on a single man
C G
Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
Am
Before all our careers depended on a single show
F G
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
Em Am
Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
F G
I realize privacy´s becoming difficult
Em Am
It´s all right now but what about when I´m old
F G
I know my good friends now they´ll last
Em Am
the same ones that stood by me when my daddy past

All I know is that we´ll never really be alone
Em Am
Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home

I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them
Am
You hear them on the radio but will you really read them
C G
Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them
Am
After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
C G
Don´t you think they miss the time when they used to hang
Am
Before a fan base depended on a single man
C G
Before a single heart was broken by a single show
Am
Who´s gonna stand who´s gonna fall I really wanna know
F G
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
Em Am
My daddy use to play me vinyl but now daddy´s gone

F G
Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
Em Am
