about

To my beautiful wife and precious daughter.

lyrics

Hello my darling
It’s me your husband
You know I’ve been out singing
Trying to make a living
Up and down this highway
Singing songs to get paid
The pubs the clubs the cafes
The nights they get so lonely
How I been missing you

But now babe
Put the kettle on now babe
I am almost home
And I feel in love all over again
I said babe its been far too long now babe
That we’ve been alone
But tonight I hold you in my arms again

Hello my daughter
It’s me your father
I bet you’ve gotten taller
Looking more like your mother
Tomorrow we’ll go swimming’
Maybe do some fishing
Can’t wait to see you skipping
Jumping and a playing
How I been missing you

But now babe
Put the kettle on now babe
I am almost home
And I feel in love all over again
I said babe its been far too long now babe
That we’ve been alone
But tonight I hold you in my arms again
