Lyrics below in flash traffic

I love you daddy. I miss you and wish you were home.

Here I am once again
Like so many times before
Dreaming 'bout the last time I saw you
Now we're so far apart

Close my eyes, see your smile
And, I try not to cry
I promised I'd be strong
Now I'm barely hanging on
Once again

(Chorus)
Once again
Like so many times before
Once again
'Til you walk back through that door
I'll be here, through it all
While you're there standing tall
I'll send my love in this song
'Till you're back here in my arms
Once again

Get the kids off to school
Cup of coffee, think of you
How you'd wake before the sunrise
But, you'd always kiss me good-bye

Get to work, park the car
Thoughts of you aren't very far
Away from my mind
You're with me all the time
A thousand times a day
I long to see your face
Once again

(Chorus)

After dinner, we watch tv
Just the kids and me
Read the message you sent last night
Saying every thing's alright

Say their prayers, it's off to bed
And I kiss their sleepy heads
Just like you always do
Then I whisper daddy loves you
They ask, when is he coming home
I say, "Soon it will be like he's never been gone"

I lay down late at night
and I hold your pillow tight
Your scent still lingers there
I whisper a little prayer

It drifts away on a breeze
Across the seven seas
Through the desert by moonlight
Can you feel my love tonight
'Cause no matter where you are
You're resting safe in my arms
Once again

Once again
Like so many times before
Once again
'Til you walk back through that door
I'll be here, through it all
While you're there standing tall
I'll send my love in this song
'Till you're back here in my arms
Once again

Once again...
Oh, once again...
Oh, once again...

Pointed here from Mudville ... you and Stormy captured the essence of the "sheepdog-family" relationship way better than I ever could. Absolutely beautiful, Kat ... is it something about the water in Flyover Country, that makes so many of us want so much to stand behind these Men and Women ... while others look down their noses at them? From a fellow musician who was raised on Sho-Me water ... and has never forgotten his roots.

Oops -- my apologies for the duplicates. If I was perfect, I'd cost so much I'd be unemployable ...
