Til now I've tried to be a big girl
I tried not to cry
But now every time that you call me
I can't help. But notice why
And tears spring to my eyes
As I see your tired happy smiling faces
Talking to me from I mile away

I tried to be a big girl,
And I tried not to cry
But now everything you call me
Tears spring to my eyes

I feel so alone
I feel so sad
I know that you miss me
But I miss you twice as bad

I know that your tired
I know that your sad
I know that you think of me
And see me at home all alone

Though I know it's hard and that you travel far
I wish I could go with you
Though I'd look past the moon
And reach past the moon

No need for long goodbyes
Or extra long hellos
I can see all your smiling faces
A you travel round the globe
