It was hard on our daughter
When our divorce came along.
I know she needs us both,
But now one is gone.
Although our marriage is over,
My love for her grows strong.
I’ve got to let her know
She’s done nothing wrong.
This is my weekend to spend time with her.
This is my chance to show her she’s still my little girl.
This is my weekend to make things right,
So tell her I’ll be there come Friday night.
You see her every morning.
I’m sure that it must be hard
To make her understand
Why we’re now apart.
Of course, she knows things are different,
And we all had to make a new start,
But please make sure that she knows
She’s still in my heart.
I spent too many hours
Away from you both at night.
She needed more from me,
And of course, you were right,
But I’m so glad we can talk now
Without ending up in a fight.
I just wanted to call
To make sure she’s all right.
