Sarah Jane Nelson - Every Other Weekend Lyrics

Sold the house, moved across town, and I'm only goin through the motions now
Built it up, lost it all, but the two things that got me through the fall
Are runnin up the sidewalk on a Friday after school, and I always know just what they're Gonna do

Kiss my cheeks, hold my hand and tell me that they love me again and again
All my dreams are right here next to me
Every other weekend

Early rise, Saturday, with a big ol' stack of chocolate chip pancakes
Run around all day long, Tire 'em out and into pj's for prayer and song
Try to tuck 'em in but they beg me to stay, so I snuggle up to make sure they're ok.

And then they kiss my cheeks, hold my hand
And tell me that they love me again and again
All my dreams are right here next to me
Every other weekend

I told 'em not to worry why their Daddy moved away
Those questions will have answers someday

Home from church, Sunday afternoon, and he's gonna come and get 'em way too soon
Throw the ball, one more time, And I turn my head so they don't see me cry
Sittin in the quiet of a lonely empty room, and the only thing that helps me make it Through

Is knowin' that they'll kiss my cheeks, hold my hand
And tell me that they love me again and again
All my dreams are right here next to me
Every other weekend
