Please forgive the times I can't be there to pick you up from school I wish I could have seen you walk that stage on your graduation day Mama knows how much I really care One day you'll see how much I really care Every time I leave you with a kiss goodbye You say bye bye daddy, it makes me want to cry I'm always away, yeah I'm away, yeah Missing you today is hard enough I don't want to miss you growing up I'm away, yeah I'm always away When this song takes me around the world I promise to bring you along Paris at night, the northern lights Me, your mom and you Mama knows how much I really care One day you'll see how much I really care Every time I leave you with a kiss goodbye You say bye bye daddy, it makes me want to cry I'm always away, yeah I'm away, yeah Missing you today is hard enough I don't want to miss you growing up I'm away I'm always away I'm away Away I'll be home with you soon *
