but it was about i think a father telling his son about how he met his mom, how he had a crush on her and got rejected and ended up with her in the end....if theirs anyway you can help i love this song but have no idea where to start

Answer
Hi Mark!  I'm not 100% sure, but I think the song you may be looking for is "I'm Already Taken" by Steve Wariner.  I've included the lyrics and a link to a video so you can see if that's the right one.  Hope this helps!

Artist: Steve Wariner
Song: I'm Already Taken
Album: Two Teardrops

My little third grade hand wrote I love you
On a note of yellow paper
And sent it to the front of the row to a little blonde-haired girl
The blonde-haired girl just opened it and read it to herself
I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love somebody else
So you'll just have to wait

The years flew by so quickly
And there we were in junior high
I realized that I still loved her so
So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt
Then she said there's something that you really ought to know

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love somebody else
So you'll just have to wait

So wait I did and never changed my love
For that little blonde-haired girl
Who's now the mother of our little blonde-haired boy
Who's to our hearts so close

I hate to think how fast he's growing up
Last night I overheard them as she tucked him into bed
He said, Mommy will you marry me
And this is what she said

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love your daddy son
So you'll just have to wait

I'm already taken
You spoke up too late
I love your daddy son
So you'll just have to wait
