While I'm Away

Will I get home just in time to sing you lullabies
Blackbird or James Taylor as you close your eyes
I know I’ll be there for your first school day
But I won’t stay long, can’t miss the plane
That’ll bring me million miles away
You know we’re blessed your mommy’s strong and shines
She’s the anchor of our lives
And while I’m away, she’s the one who’ll stay
The lighthouse keeper who is facin' every stormy night and day
Will I be there the first time
You’ll come home with a broken heart
Or the first time you’ll go out for the night
Caring about you, standing by her side
She’s the one that stands up strong and shines
She the anchor of our lives
And while I’m away, she’s the one who’ll stay
The lighthouse keeper, always facin' stormy nights and days
And she never tried, tried to hold me down
Never tried to kill the fire that’s burning me inside
She’s the one that stands up strong and shines
She’s the anchor of our lives
And while I’m away, she the one who’ll stay
The lighthouse keeper, always facin' stormy nights and days
And she never tried, tried to hold me down
Never tried to kill the fire that’s burning me inside
