Dear daughters[00:00:11]
Gwen you're my oldest and you're quite a lady[00:00:12]
You're my only blue eyed girl and you turn sixteen in April[00:00:17]
And you sure made a change in my world[00:00:22]
I'm sorry I missed the big evening your first date and I wasn't around[00:00:25]
Save all the secret things you did and tell me when I get to town[00:00:31]
And on your graduation I wanted pictures to look back on[00:00:37]
But then I wasn't there to take them as usual I was gone[00:00:40]
You've had to grow up much too quick and you've done it on your own[00:00:47]
You did it without mama 'cause mama wasn't home[00:00:52]
And Jackie you're quite a lady too[00:00:56]
You're just one year younger than Gwen[00:00:59]
And there's so much that I'm missing like being mommy now and then[00:01:02]
I remember the day you cooked your first meal you were nine[00:01:08]
You cooked biscuits and ham[00:01:12]
And you called it to me how good[00:01:13]
It was 'cause I was out of town[00:01:16]
And at the party for fathers and daughters well[00:01:20]
I know you felt out of place[00:01:24]
And even the pretty dress I bought couldn't fill that empty space[00:01:26]
And the time when you got sick and the doctors turned you down[00:01:32]
They said they couldn't treat you with your mama out of town[00:01:37]
And Tina you're such a pretty girl with big almond eyes brown[00:01:42]
And they voted you a home coming queen when I was out of town[00:01:49]
I know you were a beauty 'cause your sisters dressed you right[00:01:54]
And you said it didn't matter that I was out of town that night[00:01:58]
And the day that you joined the cheer leading team[00:02:03]
Boy nothing could hold you down you yelled hip hip hurray[00:02:07]
Over the phone 'cause as usual I was out of town[00:02:11]
And Tamale Georgette Jones you simply take my breath away[00:02:16]
Born just six short years ago and named for your daddy and me[00:02:22]
Going to sleep on the arm and listening to her hymn[00:02:27]
Drifting off to fairy land while sucking on your thumb[00:02:32]
While just yesterday you pulled a tooth you sure are brave and strong[00:02:36]
I wish I could have been there but as usual I was gone[00:02:43]
