I was
listening to the music
When I heard that song
I turned it up a little louder
And started to sing along Then
my little girl looked up at me
Asked me if I were lonely too
Tears filled my eyes and I turned away
Then I did what I had to do I
pulled her close and held her
Said honey, I'm just fine
Now how could I be lonely
With you here to hug good morning
And kiss goodnight She
smiled at me and said that's right
You've always got me here
Then she ran out to play
As I tried to stop the tears Because
my heart knows what lonely is
Filled with longing for all I need
Why can't what I have be enough
But I'll make her believe Everything's
just fine
It's all gonna be okay
I'll never let her know
Sometimes my dreams are far away I
look through the window and watch her
Chasing a butterfly
I wouldn't hurt her for all the word
I won't let her see me cry What
I have should be enough
I shouldn't need more than this
I try to keep that thought from coming back
That whispers ..."is this all there is" I
was just listening to the music
When I heard that song
I turned it up a little louder
And started to sing along Then
my little girl looked up at me
Asked me if I were lonely too
Tears filled my eyes and I turned away
Then I did what I had to do I
pulled her close and held her
Said honey, I'm just fine
Now how could I be lonely
With you here to hug good morning
And kiss goodnight Joni
