Tim Palmer - A Single Dad Lyrics

She called me up today
Just to say she's doing fine
She'll be coming back home soon
If there's time

And my heart is on the fence
Though I know I should be glad
This is when you'd be the very best
There's some things they don't teach
A Single Dad

Like how to hold back the tears
When I hear her voice so clear
This is killing me, she's so far away
I want to go out there and bring here back here

From the first time that I held her in my arms
And felt the warmth of her skin
And heard the beating of her heart
I knew it all would come to this

Now she's all grown up and
On her own, she's so much like her
Mom it sometimes takes my breath away
Away, Away

Braiding hair and tying bows
Buying clothes and ballet shoes
Didn't have a clue, all of this
Was meant for you

I did some of it right
Made mistakes, that's for sure
I swear her first breakup was as hard on me
As I know it was on her

I close my eyes and think of her
In my mind she's eight years old
That's what makes it so damn hard
To just let go
It's so hard to just let go

From the first time that I held her in my arms
And felt the warmth of her skin
And heard the beating of her heart
I knew it all would come to this

Now she's all grown up and
On her own, she's so much like her
Mom it sometimes takes my breath away
Away, Away

She called me up today
Just to say she's doing fine
She'll be coming back home soon
If there's time
