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 |
