[00:28.93]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
