Single Father - Live

Lately I've been spending lots of time with my kid

Telling him stories about the things that we did

When we were a family such a long time ago

I've answered his questions until I'm blue in the face

There's so many things that time can't erase

So I just tell him the truth

Because he's not too young to know

Such is the life of a single father

He says, "Tell me dad if it's not too much bother

Why it's just you and me living here in this home"

I say, "I know there's just two

When there ought to be three of us

Sharing these moments, you know son

I guess sometimes at night I do feel alone"

Single father, part time mother

When I'm not one, then I'm the other

I used to have a full time lover

Now I'm a single father and a part time mother

Lately I've been spending lots of time with my boy

There's no doubt about it, he's my pride and joy

But someday he'll grow up and I won't have him no more

There were so many things I found hard to explain

So I just took him to McDonald's or I bought him a little train

And we put it together on our living room floor

Such is the life of a single father

He says, "Tell me dad if it's not too much bother

Why it's just you and me living here in this home"

I say, "I know there's just two

When there ought to be three of us

Sharing these moments, you know son

I guess sometimes at night I do feel alone"

Single father, part time mother

When I'm not one, then I'm the other

I used to have a full time lover

Now I'm a single father and a part time mother
