"Other Side Of The World" lyrics

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
