Daddy

I sang about mama but I guess I forgot daddy

So dad, this is for you

Who's the one who used to tickle your toes

And wrinkle his nose?

Who taught you how a choo-choo goes

Daddy, oh, daddy

And who's the one who'd wake in darkest night

To see if you were alright?

His baby sleeping tight

Daddy, daddy

Who's the one who worked so hard all day?

But when his job was through

He'd come home and play with you

Daddy, daddy

And who's the one who let you put some lipstick on

And wear your hair down long

When mom was gone?

Daddy, daddy

It was daddy, my daddy

Daddy, oh, daddy

And who's the one that would wait up late?

Waiting on his baby girl to tell him all about her date

Daddy, daddy

And who's the one who saw your tears were real

And said no matter how you feel

A love wound will heal?

Daddy, daddy

And who's the one who's cared your whole life through

Now there's someone who has taken you?

And who's the one on your wedding day

Who has to smile and say, I do, I give my girl away

Daddy, my daddy
