A Happy Tear In My Eye
Noises from the backyard
Where fireflies are being chased
Aromas from the kitchen
Promise my hunger will be erased
Musical notes from the baby grand
Practicing without a fight
I love being a family man
When day turns into night
The soapy smell of just washed hair
As I read a bedtime story
Walking through the bedroom maze
Of not yet picked up toys
A goodnight kiss from toothpaste lips
Hearing my wife sing a lullaby
As lights turn out, without a doubt
That's a happy tear in my eye
