Lyrics
Every other Tuesday morning
I wake up Amy from her bed
She says Daddy is it time for school ‘cause I was
Having my favorite dream again
You and mommy were together
I was with you holding hands
Then I washed up after dinner
And the best part was you both tucked me in
Amy, it’s not always that we can be together
Since the judge said every other week, I have ya
I want you to know, you are the heart of me
I want you to know. you are a part of me
I want you to know, you are the heart of me
I said Amy I know you’re wanting
To have me live in the house again
But you’re too young to understand this
It’s not your fault it’s just how it is
Now Amy, it’s not always that we can be together
Since the judge said every other week, I have ya
I want you to know, you are the heart of me
Even though I don’t live with ya, you know you have a father
And even though I always miss ya, I know I have a daughter
You’re my first thought rising and the last thought fading
I want you to know, you are the heart of me
I want you to know. you are a part of me
I want you to know, you are the heart of me
