DADDY'S SONG

I got a day with nothing to do 
And 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
