Up and Gone

Up & Gone
 

This morning, I was up and gone
Before you opened your eyes
For when you went to check on me
You were quite surprised
There were the covers
And there was the bed
And there was the pillow
But where was the head?
Where were the arms?
And where were the feet?
Where was your daddy?
In which you can to meet
Up before the dawn
And quickly on my way
I got an early start
To my busy day
But not before I stopped
To kiss my little child
Who was lost in a dream
That was running wild
I’ll call you on the phone
After breakfast is done
And say my good mornings
To my beautiful son
