While I Was Away

C
By the time I made it home
Am
You were already in bed
G
Chubby cheek pressed to your pillow
G C
By a bedtime book you'd read
G
And I noticed that you looked older
Am
Than you did yesterday
G
You've been growin' up
G C
While I was away
You made a pile of leaves in the front yard
I guess it's already fall
By the look of those pictures your momma took
The two of you had a ball
And it made me glad but a little sad
To see those games you play
I missed a lot of smiles
While I was away
Chorus:
C/B Am F C
And for every dollar I earn there's a lesson you learn without me there
C/B Am F G
And every day I'm on the go I'm prayin' that you know your daddy cares
C Am
'Cause the hardest part about workin' hard ain't the bills I gotta pay
G C
It's you growin' up while I was away
And I found your note in the kitchen
It's a real work of art
A stickman holding your stick hand
With "Daddy" written in a heart
And it got me good 'cause I understood
Just what you meant to say
You've been missin' me too
While I was away
Chorus
Tag:
C
You know the hardest part about workin' hard
Am
Ain't the bills I gotta pay
G
It's everything I missed
G C
While I was away
