Tears

Paid first and last month's rent, i don't know why i even carried in this old bed of mines

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 got a lot of responsibility

Even tho God gave this gift to the both of us

Some how every other weekend is how it ended up

When the telephone rings, i drop everything

Cause when all u got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite dad i miss you a lot

I stop in my tracks, 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 and shes learning how to read

And i cant see those pictures, but i can hear those pages turn

And her mother says it bath time, as she blows a kiss through the line

I don't kno whats worse saying goodbye, or talking to her

Cause im the one that should be there tucking her in the bed

But since her voice is all i have im thankful for what i get

When the telephone rings, i drop everything

Cause when all u got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite dad i miss you a lot

I stop in my tracks, i try to act strong when she calls

And i thank God she cant hear tears...when they fall

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

When the telephone rings, i drop everything

Cause when all u got is that 8 o'clock, nite nite dad i miss you a lot

I stop in my tracks, i try to act strong when she calls

And i thank God she cant hear tears...when they fall
