Daddys Song

I got a day without nothing to do

And a do not disturb on my door

I sorta looked for some mess that she'd made

Or her sweet little socks on the floor

But all that she left here was too many rooms

And just enough silence to break

And I can't look at her picture right now

* * *

Time's about all I can take

Last night I sewed up her toys that were torn

And packed her suitcase again

She looked so sweet as she lay there asleep

Smiling and holding my hand

We didn't talk all the way to the plane

But she's too big now to cry

Then when I kissed her she held me so tight

I couldn't tell her goodbye

She said I wish that we lived together again

It gets so lonesome apart

I'm missing somebody all of the time

Daddy it's breaking my heart

It's not so bad out here living alone

Comfort's a stranger away

And there's a freedom you find on your own

That's nearly worth what you pay

It's just a shame she still wants us to be

All that we seemed to before

But we can't blame her for making believe

Something we don't anymore

She said I wish that we lived together again

It gets so lonesome apart

I'm missing somebody all of the time

Daddy it's breaking my heart
