I paid first and last month's rent I wondered why I'm even carrying that old bed of mine It is not like I ever sleep All I do is to think of her And wonder how I am gonna make tings work Coz I know as a dad I've got a lot of responsibilites Even though God gave this gift to the both of us Somehow every other weekend is how it ended up
So when the telephone rings I drop everything Cause when all you got is that 8 o'clock Nite nite daddy miss you a lot I stop in my tracks And I try to act strong when she calls And I thank God she can't hear tears when they fall
Now its her Dr. Seuss and me and she's learning how to read And I cant see those pictures but I can hear those pages turn And her mum says it bath time so she blows a kiss through the line I don't know what's worse saying goodbye or talking to her Coz I'm the one who should be there tucking her in the bed But since her voice is all I have I'm thankful for what I get
so when the telephone rings I drop everything Coz when all you got is that 8 o'clock Nite nite daddy miss you a lot I stop in my tracks And I try to act strong when she calls And I thank God she can't hear tears
If she knew I was crying she might think it's her fault oh but that's just me missing her Every time we talk Every time we talk
So when the telephone rings I drop everything Coz when all you got is that 8 o'clock Nite nite daddy miss you a lot I stop in my tracks And I try to act strong when she calls And I thank God she can't hear tears when they fall
