I got a day without nothing to do
And a "do not disturb" on my door
I sorta looked for some mess that shed 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 cant look at her picture right now
Times 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 didnt talk all the way to the plane
But shes too big now to cry
Then when I kissed her, she held me so tight
I couldnt tell her goodbye.
Chorus:
She said, "i wish that we lived together again
It gets so lonesome apart
Im missing somebody all of the time
Daddy, its breaking my heart"
Its not so bad out here living alone
Comforts a stranger away
And theres a freedom you find on your own
Thats nearly worth what you pay
Its just a shame she still wants us to be
All that we seemed to before
But we cant blame her for making believe
Something we dont anymore.
Chorus:
She said, "i wish that we lived together again
It gets so lonesome apart
Im missing somebody all of the time
Daddy, its breaking my heart"
