Away

She was a daddy's girl in every possible way Like a shadow even on a cloudy day But mommy and daddy just couldn't get along They went their separate ways Then daddy was gone She don't call him daddy anymore The tears have dried the book is closed Her heart has shut the door Flesh and blood it is the same But pride gets in the way So they live their lives away Mommy met another and took a different name Time passed by Daddy missed the joys and pains Graduation came and went invitation never sent The wedding came she never called his name She don't call him daddy anymore The tears have dried the book is closed Her heart has shut the door Flesh and blood it is the same But pride gets in the way So they live their lives away Pickles and ice cream he never saw the glow Tiny hands in pink in tiny little bows Christmas and birthdays he never got a call The miles between just like a wall They don't call him grandpa at all They've never seen his face or the way he walks and talks Flesh and blood it is the same but pride gets in the way So they live their lives away So they live their lives away
