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
