Spoken:
  You know tonight is a very important night
  for me for a number of reasons
  my little girl is here tonight
  and I don't think you understand
  what it's like being the daughter of
  someone who's always gone
  it's kind of scary and it's kind of lonely
  and I guess she thinks to herself sometimes
  "Is mummy ever going ever gonna come home?"
  and so my daughter looked up at me
  last week and she said "mummy
  when are you just gonna stay home
  one day and be with me"?
  and so it kinda struck me funny
  and I didn't realize that I hadn't spent
  anytime with her for a long time
  so I sat down and wrote down this song
  after she went to bed
  and I told her tonight when it was bedtime
  I would sing her son
  
  I bet you ask yourself
  why I'm never there
  it's not because I like being away
  you see I've made a spectacle of myself
  and it seems that the whole world needs me
  I understand when you cry alone
  and mama's not there to wipe your eyes
  you see it's only because
  I'm out being someone to make you cry
  
  I got a little letter
  and I read it on the plane
  and in my heart I felt a funny kind of pain
  I wish that I could be there
  to touch your face again
  
  Mimi you're beautiful
  Mimi you're mine
  and other things that I do in my life
  seem to take up all your precious time
  
  There's so much I long to say
  so much more I long to do
  but I guess it's all just have to wait
  till I can get to see you
  
  Mimi you're mine
  oh, Mimi you're mine
  oh, Mimi you fill my life
  
  You fill my life with so much love
  cause you're beautiful
  and you love me
  and you'll understand
  
  Mimi it's bedtime say Goodnight
  "Goodnight"
