He stands 3 feet high
Tears in his eyes
Using every trick to make me stay
It always hurts
To leave him for work
I'll miss him each step of the way

I know by his hug
He needs all my love
It almost makes both of us cry
But I must resist him
Abide by the system
So I kiss him and tell him goodbye

He needs to be heard
When he tries a new word
I wish I could be there some way
No work means no pay
So I'm on my way
But I wish I could watch him today

Just once in his life
He'll stand 3 feet high
I guess there's no one to blame
Every hour he goes thru
He learns something new
If I miss it it would be a shame

Cause I miss a lot when I leave him
Once I took him to daycare and left
When I called in at three
They reported to me
Good news....he took his first step
