Family Photo

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 let down easy, 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 have 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 ceremonies done, I know it sound dumb
 But I thought he might come because the night was still young
 I could've filled his space, it's like a hunnid a plate
 I kept it just in case he praying he show up late
 Then I wait, 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, 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
 You know 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 got to 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
 I ain't ask you to be perfect, man, that's only God
 I just wished you would have 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 I cannot change
 Courage to change the things I can
 And 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
 Trusting that He will make all things right
 If I surrender to His Will
 That I may be reasonably happy in this life
 And supremely happy with You
 Forever in the next
 Amen, amen, amen
