TearsI paid first and last month's rent, I wondered why I even carried in that old bed of mineCause Its not like I ever sleep All I do is think of her, and wonder how im gonna make things work Cause I know as a dad I've got a lot of responsibilities And even though God gave this gift to the both of us Some how every other weekend is how it ended up [chorus] So when the telephone rings, I drop everything Cause when all you got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite daddy miss you a lot I stop in my tracks, and I try to act strong when she calls And I thank God she cant hear tears...when they fall Now its her Dr. Seuss and me shes learning how to read And I cant see the pictures, but I can hear those pages turn And her momma says it bath time, so she blows a kiss through the line I don't know whats worse saying goodbye, or talking to her Cause im the one who should be there tucking her in the bed But since her voice is all I have im thankful for what I get [repeat chorus] If she knew I was crying she might think its her fault, oh but that's just me missing her Every time we talk, every time we talk [repeat chorus] "Bye daddy" "Bye baby, I'll talk to you soon alright?" "alright" "I love you" "I love you too." |
