While I Was Away |
By the time I made it home |
You were already in bed |
Chubby cheek pressed to your pillow |
By a bedtime book you’d read |
And I noticed that you looked older |
Than you did yesterday |
You’ve been growin' up |
While I was away |
You made a pile of leaves in the front yard |
I guess it’s already fall |
By the look of those pictures your Momma took |
The two of you had a ball |
And it made me glad but a little sad |
To see those games you play |
I missed a lot of smiles |
While I was away |
And for every dollar I earn there’s a lesson you learn without me there |
And every day I’m on the go I’m prayin' that you know your Daddy cared |
'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain’t the bills I gotta pay |
It’s you growin' up while I was away |
And I found your note in the kitchen |
It’s a real work of art |
A stickman holding your stick hand With «Daddy"written in a heart |
And it got me good 'cause I understood |
Just what you meant to say |
You’ve been missin' me too |
While I was away |
And for every dollar I earn there’s a lesson you learn without me there |
And every day I’m on the go I’m prayin' that you know your Daddy cared |
'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain’t the bills I gotta pay |
It’s you growin' up while I was away |
You know the hardest part about workin' hard |
