[00:00:11] Dear daughters

[00:00:12] Gwen you're my oldest and you're quite a lady

[00:00:17] You're my only blue eyed girl and you turn sixteen in April

[00:00:22] And you sure made a change in my world

[00:00:25] I'm sorry I missed the big evening your first date and I wasn't around

[00:00:31] Save all the secret things you did and tell me when I get to town

[00:00:37] And on your graduation I wanted pictures to look back on

[00:00:40] But then I wasn't there to take them as usual I was gone

[00:00:47] You've had to grow up much too quick and you've done it on your own

[00:00:52] You did it without mama 'cause mama wasn't home

[00:00:56] And Jackie you're quite a lady too

[00:00:59] You're just one year younger than Gwen

[00:01:02] And there's so much that I'm missing like being mommy now and then

[00:01:08] I remember the day you cooked your first meal you were nine

[00:01:12] You cooked biscuits and ham

[00:01:13] And you called it to me how good

[00:01:16] It was 'cause I was out of town

[00:01:20] And at the party for fathers and daughters well

[00:01:24] I know you felt out of place

[00:01:26] And even the pretty dress I bought couldn't fill that empty space

[00:01:32] And the time when you got sick and the doctors turned you down

[00:01:37] They said they couldn't treat you with your mama out of town

[00:01:42] And Tina you're such a pretty girl with big almond eyes brown

[00:01:49] And they voted you a home coming queen when I was out of town

[00:01:54] I know you were a beauty 'cause your sisters dressed you right

[00:01:58] And you said it didn't matter that I was out of town that night

[00:02:03] And the day that you joined the cheer leading team

[00:02:07] Boy nothing could hold you down you yelled hip hip hurray

[00:02:11] Over the phone 'cause as usual I was out of town

[00:02:16] And Tamale Georgette Jones you simply take my breath away

[00:02:22] Born just six short years ago and named for your daddy and me

[00:02:27] Going to sleep on the arm and listening to her hymn

[00:02:32] Drifting off to fairy land while sucking on your thumb

[00:02:36] While just yesterday you pulled a tooth you sure are brave and strong

[00:02:43] I wish I could have been there but as usual I was gone
