Weekend Daddy

Son, I'm writing you this letter
Even though you're not old enough to read
I wanna be with you each night and day
But things just didn't seem to work out that way

I'd like to be there
To answer your questions
So you think your daddy's so smart
Dry your eyes when you hurt so you know that your daddy's got a great big heart
But you just know that we have fun on weekends
With burgers and movie shows
I'm the funny kid who comes around
Dressed up in grown-up clothes

I'm your weekend daddy
And you think I'm a big old teddy bear
TV star, circus clown
And puppy dog all in one
I'm a weekend daddy
But you're home with your mommy when the day is done
And I take off the mask
That I've been wearing soon as you kiss me goodbye
And I turn away to hide the teardrops
In your weekend daddy's eyes

I know you'd like me to stay with you
So we can hug up the whole day long
And there's nothing I'd like better, son
But that's not where I belong
But don't you worry, I'll be back to see you
Next week, same time, same place
I'll be over at ten in the morning
With a smile upon my face

I'm your weekend daddy
And you think I'm a big old teddy bear
TV star, circus clown
And puppy dog all in one
I'm a weekend daddy
But you're home with your mommy when the day is done
And I take off the mask
That I've been wearing soon as you kiss me goodbye
And I turn away to hide the teardrops
In your weekend daddy's eyes

Oh, I take off the mask
That I've been wearing soon as you kiss me goodbye
And I turn away to hide the teardrops
In your weekend daddy's eyes

Oh, I turn away to hide the teardrops
In your weekend daddy's eyes
