Did You See My Daddy Over There |
A little boy tugged gently |
At a soldier’s khaki sleeve. |
He says, «Forgive me, mister; |
But you’ve been across I believe. |
I see the purple heart you wear |
That tells what you’ve been through. |
Perhaps you know my daddy, sir; |
'Cause he’s a soldier, too. |
Did you see my daddy, mister soldier, |
When you were fighting over there? |
I thought perhaps by chance |
You met him there in France, |
Or somewhere over there |
Across the sea. |
It’s been so long since daddy went away. |
My mommy longs for him both night and day. |
I know 'twould make her glad |
If you had seen my dad. |
Did you see my daddy over there? |
The soldier’s eyes grew misty |
As he watched the boy’s face, |
For it recalled a memory |
That time can not erase; |
A buddy lost in action, |
The best pal he ever had. |
Till death he carried o’er his heart |
A picture of this lad. |
Did you see my daddy, mister soldier, |
When you were fighting over there? |
I thought perhaps by chance |
You met him there in France, |
Or somewhere over there across the sea. |
It’s been so long since daddy went away. |
My mommy longs for him both night and day. |
I know 'twould make her glad |
If you had seen my dad. |
Did you see my daddy over there? |
