Six in the morning
I hear you go
You've got a plane to catch
You told me so
Flying to New York
Then on to Rome
Sometimes it seems as if the world's your home

Well, I understand
You're a busy man
But, listen while I sing these words

Stay, daddy, stay
Please stay, daddy, stay
I won't let you leave today
So stay, please, daddy stay

One day I'm certain
You'll take me along to hear you play guitar
And sing your songs
Until that moment
I must be good and try to be patient

Gee, I wish I could
Before you try say goodbye
Listen while I sing these words
Stay, daddy, stay
Please stay, daddy, stay
I won't let you leave today, no way
So stay, please daddy, stay
Daddy, stay
