To Daddy |
| Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| She never wanted to be more than a mother and a wife |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| The only thing that seemed to be important in her life |
| Was to make our house a home and make us happy |
| Mama never wanted any more than what she had |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| He often left her all alone, but she didn’t mind the staying home |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted |
| And she didn’t need those things to make her happy |
| And she didn’t seem to notice that he didn’t kiss and hold her |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| One morning we awoke just to find a note |
| That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy |
| And as he began to read it, our ears could not believe it |
| The words that she had written there to daddy |
| She said the kids are older now, they don’t need me very much |
| And I’ve gone in search of love I need so badly |
| I have needed you so long, but I just can’t keep holding on |
| She never meant to come back home |
| If she did, she never did say so to daddy |
| Goodbye to daddy |
