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



[chorus]

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



[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]
