[Intro]
F C
[Verse 1]
C F
I go to see my little girl
C
Each Sunday afternoon
F C G
And how I dread the words I know she'll say
C F
She'll ask me when I'm coming home
C
I'll answer pretty soon
F C G C
But I know I'm just her mommy for a day
[Chorus]
G
She's much too young to realize
F C
Why mommy can't come home
F C G
And that her daddy wanted things this way
C
We kiss goodbye
F C
And my heart breaks to walk away alone
F C G C
To have to be her mommy for a day
[Interlude]
F C G C
[Verse 2]
C F
I loved her dad with all my heart
C
They lied and ruined our home
F C G
Oh, why did he believe the things they said
C F
I pray in time he'll change his mind
C
And take me back once more
F C G C
Then I'll not be her mommy for a day
[Chorus]
G
She's much too young to realize
F C
Why mommy can't come home
F C G
And that her daddy wanted things this way
C
We kiss goodbye
F C
And my heart breaks to walk away alone
F C G C
To have to be her mommy for a day
