• ONE A.M. IN TACOMA

   It was  one a.m. in  Tacoma
  She  called to say they  finally  arrived
  It was  raining that  night in  Tacoma
  She  assured me  everything was  fine
  
  It’s  so hard on a  mother and  father
  When your  baby’s halfway  around the  world
  She’s  married now and  starting her own  family
  To us,  she’s still our  little  girl
  
  Are  we sad, or  are we just being  selfish
  Cause it’s  us who  choose to stay  here
  Ad we  both had left  home so much  younger
  Guess we’d  forgotten all  about the  tears
  
  We knew that this day would  come
  When we’d have to say goodbye
  Everyone was there at the airport
   Time had  come to  cry
  
   It was  one a.m. in  Tacoma
  She  called to say they  safely  arrived
  She said it’s  raining  tonight here in  Tacoma
  Don’t  worry Papa,  we’ll all  right
  
   Everyday when my  clock strikes  ten
  I’ll  think about  Tacoma  again
