I've been told you measure a man by how much he loves

Oh, how I wish I could be there everyday 
               D                           Bm 
Cause when I'm gone it makes me so sad and blue 
            D                                  Bm

Hearing me cry A thousand miles away 
      D                            Bm 
Every cry (greatest love I've ever known)
