這首歌以一個女人對她父親拋棄家庭的??回憶開始； 通過副歌，唱到她與孩子找到一個愛家的男人（父親），她將他描述為“一點一點地”恢複了她的“男人可以善良，父親可以留下來的信念”。
以前聽過不少電視現場(歌手)選秀的比賽，最早是美國的，Kelly Clarkson算是最早的冠軍之一，然後中國的湖南電視台也模仿這些現場秀，還出了李宇春、張靚穎、周筆暢等優秀選手。這些年過去了，最讓我感動的是Kelly C， 尤其是前幾年美國達人秀American Idols的終場，他攜帶自己的歌《一點一滴 Piece by Piece》、同時帶著懷孕了七個月的身體站在台上為美國觀眾演唱。那種場麵，實在太感人了，全體在座的，都站著聽她的歌，包括我站在電視機前。她唱的是兩個父親、兩個很不一樣的男人。還好這地球上，絕大部分的父親是好的父親，祝你節日愉快，謝謝！

"Piece By Piece"
And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
Begged you to want me, but you didn't want to
But piece by piece he collected me
Up off the ground where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could... stay
And all of your words fall flat
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love, it isn't free, it has to be earned
Back then I didn't have anything you needed so I was worthless
But piece by piece he collected me
Up off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah
Piece by piece he filled the holes
That you burned in me at six years old
And you know
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
'Cause he loves me
Piece by piece he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could stay
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree *
I will never leave her like you left me
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I'm gonna put her first
And you know
He'll never walk away
He'll never break her heart
He'll take care of things
He'll love her
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father should be great
Piece by piece
Piece by piece
