I had her mother walk her to the gate

I stayed back 'cause I couldn't take

The sight of my whole world just flying' away

A couple bags and her favorite guitar

Every piece of my broken heart

Dreams taking her of so far, far away from me

Now ever since that night

Right before I close my eyes... I say

As I lay me down to sleep

Oh I

Pray the lord her soul to keep

Give me strength

Get me through

'Cause I miss my baby girl

All grown up

On the other side of the world

6 months since I left the states

I remember how you looked that day

The fear, the doubt, the love all over your face

Sydney's nice but it's not home

I miss ya Dad like you'll never know

You always said follow your heart so I had to go

Oh half a world away

You're just starting your day... and I say

As I lay me down to sleep

Oh I

Pray the lord his soul to keep

Give me strength

Get me through

'Cause I'm still his baby girl

On my own

On the other side of the world

Girl, I believe in you

Oh, Dad I know you do

As I, as I, lay me, lay me

Down to sleep

Oh I pray the, pray the

Lord his, lord her soul to keep

Give me strength to get through

'Cause I miss my baby girl

All grown up

On my own

On the other side of the world
