Daddy Don't Go
Lyrics
The boxes are all taped up, slowly loaded on the truck
A kiss on my forehead goodbye
Eight years old in the cold I watched him fade down the road
Nobody heard me cry
Daddy don't go
No one can push me high enough on the tire swing
And only you know
That silly song we like to sing
And what about my new bike I don't know how to ride
I need you
Runnin' by my side
Daddy don't go
Years started stackin' up, Mom stopped crying as much
That collect call took me by surprise
He only had a minute or two to say to me I love you
But I wouldn't swallow my pride
Years of pain raged through my veins
The woman in me called him names
When he was gone the girl in me cried
Daddy don't go
No one can push me high enough on the tire swing
And only you know
That silly song we like to sing
And what about my new bike I still can't ride
I need you
Runnin' by my side
Daddy don't go
A nurse called me up to say your daddy checked in today
A visit from you is all we can do for him
He listed me as next of kin but I wasn't givin' in
I stayed home and prayed for him
Daddy don't go
We don't know each other well enough for you to leave me now
Daddy don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Daddy don't go
The boxes are all taped up, slowly loaded on the truck
A kiss on my forehead goodbye
Eight years old in the cold I watched him fade down the road
Nobody heard me cry
Daddy don't go
No one can push me high enough on the tire swing
And only you know
That silly song we like to sing
And what about my new bike I don't know how to ride
I need you
Runnin' by my side
Daddy don't go
Years started stackin' up, Mom stopped crying as much
That collect call took me by surprise
He only had a minute or two to say to me I love you
But I wouldn't swallow my pride
Years of pain raged through my veins
The woman in me called him names
When he was gone the girl in me cried
Daddy don't go
No one can push me high enough on the tire swing
And only you know
That silly song we like to sing
And what about my new bike I still can't ride
I need you
Runnin' by my side
Daddy don't go
A nurse called me up to say your daddy checked in today
A visit from you is all we can do for him
He listed me as next of kin but I wasn't givin' in
I stayed home and prayed for him
Daddy don't go
We don't know each other well enough for you to leave me now
Daddy don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Daddy don't go
