  • He called her on the road
    From a lonely, cold hotel room
    Just to hear her say I love you one more time
    And when he heard the sound
    Of the kids laughin' in the background
    He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
    A little voice came on the phone
    Said, "Daddy when you comin' home?"
    He said the first thing that came to his mind

    I'm already there
    Take a look around
    I'm the sunshine in your hair
    I'm the shadow on the ground
    I'm the whisper in the wind
    I'm your imaginary friend
    And I know I'm in your prayers
    Oh, I'm already there

    She got back on the phone
    Said, "I really miss you, darlin'
    Don't worry about the kids, they'll be alright
    Wish I was in your arms
    Lyin' right there beside you
    But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
    And I'll gently kiss your lips
    Touch you with my fingertips
    So turn out the light and close your eyes"

    I'm already there
    Don't make a sound
    I'm the beat in your heart
    I'm the moonlight shinin' down
    I'm the whisper in the wind
    And I'll be there 'til the end
    Can you feel the love that we share?
    Oh, I'm already there

    We may be a thousand miles apart
    But I'll be with you wherever you are

    I'm already there
    Take a look around
    I'm the sunshine in your hair
    I'm the shadow on the ground
    I'm the whisper in the wind
    And I'll be there 'til the end
    Can you feel the love that we share?
    Oh, I'm already there
    Oh, I'm already there Writer/s: Frank Myers, Gary Baker, Richie McDonald

  • Rhughes from PennsylvaniaThis song really hits my feelings because my dad was a truck driver. He was gone all the time and was barely home. We did a lot of family things without him because he wasn't able to make it home. He's my hero and I don't know what I would do without him.
