A year and a half did not seem like much time
But its almost forever when you're only nine
Yes, she still adores him and tears fill her eyes
As she clings to her pillow and cries
Daddy come home, oh please, daddy come home
Sweet daddy, are you out there somewhere all alone?
Was mommy mean to you, did I treat you wrong?
Daddy, oh daddy come home
Out on the coast in a honeymoon suit
Someones tossing and turning, and trying to sleep
Was that just the wind in the pines 'cross the bay?
Or a small voice from so far away
Daddy come home, oh please, daddy come home
Sweet daddy, are you out there somewhere all alone?
Was mommy mean to you, did I treat you wrong?
Daddy, oh daddy, come home
Daddy, oh daddy, come home!...
