I paid first and last month's rent |
| [00:32.42] |
I wondered why I'm even carrying that old bed of mine |
| [00:37.33] |
It is not like I ever sleep |
| [00:43.03] |
All I do is to think of her |
| [00:46.38] |
And wonder how I am gonna make tings work |
| [00:49.33] |
Coz I know as a dad I've got a lot of responsibilites |
| [00:56.94] |
Even though God gave this gift to the both of us |
| [01:02.98] |
Somehow every other weekend is how it ended up |
| [01:10.38] |
|
| [01:11.73] |
So when the telephone rings |
| [01:15.01] |
I drop everything |
| [01:17.32] |
Cause when all you got is that 8 o'clock |
| [01:21.01] |
Nite nite daddy miss you a lot |
| [01:24.27] |
I stop in my tracks |
| [01:27.49] |
And I try to act strong when she calls |
| [01:34.16] |
And I thank God |
| [01:36.36] |
she can't hear tears when they fall |
| [01:46.92] |
|
| [01:49.70] |
Now its her Dr. Seuss and me |
| [01:52.82] |
and she's learning how to read |
| [01:55.63] |
And I cant see those pictures |
| [01:57.75] |
but I can hear those pages turn |
| [02:02.79] |
And her mum says it bath time |
| [02:05.95] |
so she blows a kiss through the line |
| [02:09.56] |
I don't know what's worse |
| [02:11.86] |
saying goodbye or talking to her |
| [02:17.66] |
Coz I'm the one who should be there tucking her in the bed |
| [02:23.67] |
But since her voice is all I have |
| [02:27.41] |
I'm thankful for what I get |
| [02:31.09] |
|
| [02:32.11] |
so when the telephone rings |
| [02:35.50] |
I drop everything |
| [02:37.72] |
Coz when all you got is that 8 o'clock |
| [02:41.58] |
Nite nite daddy miss you a lot |
| [02:44.47] |
I stop in my tracks |
| [02:47.96] |
And I try to act strong when she calls |
| [02:54.47] |
And I thank God she can't hear tears |
| [03:01.30] |
|
| [03:02.19] |
If she knew I was crying |
| [03:05.40] |
she might think it's her fault |
| [03:09.08] |
oh but that's just me missing her |
| [03:13.08] |
Every time we talk |
| [03:22.37] |
Every time we talk |
| [03:28.96] |
|
| [03:31.04] |
So when the telephone rings |
| [03:35.16] |
I drop everything |
| [03:37.31] |
Coz when all you got is that 8 o'clock |
| [03:41.19] |
Nite nite daddy miss you a lot |
| [03:44.23] |
I stop in my tracks |
| [03:47.70] |
And I try to act strong when she calls |
| [03:54.42] |
And I thank God she can't hear tears |
| [04:04.80] |
when they fall |
| [04:11.95] |
|
| [04:15.73] |
|
| [04:20.70] |
