Tears

I paid first and last month's rent

I wondered why I'm even carrying that old bed of mine

It is not like I ever sleep

All I do is to think of her

And wonder how I am gonna make tings work

Coz I know as a dad I've got a lot of responsibilites

Even though God gave this gift to the both of us

Somehow every other weekend is how it ended up

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 can't hear tears when they fall

Now its her Dr. Seuss and me

and she's learning how to read

And I cant see those pictures

but I can hear those pages turn

And her mum says it bath time

so she blows a kiss through the line

I don't know what's worse

saying goodbye or talking to her

Coz I'm the one who should be there tucking her in the bed

But since her voice is all I have

I'm thankful for what I get

so when the telephone rings

I drop everything

Coz 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 can't hear tears

If she knew I was crying

she might think it's her fault

oh but that's just me missing her

Every time we talk

Every time we talk

So when the telephone rings

I drop everything

Coz 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 can't hear tears

when they fall
