|
You're a thousand miles away-ay
|
Bu-u-t I still have your love to remember you by
|
Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes
|
Daddy's coming home soon
|
|
On my knees every day-ay
|
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
|
Hope you a-a-a-always want me too
|
Daddy's coming home soon
|
|
It may be on a Sunday morning
|
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
|
But no matter what the day is
|
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon
|
|
You're (a thousand miles away)
|
Bu-u-ut I still have your love to remember you by
|
Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes
|
Daddy's coming ho-ome so-oo-oo-oo-oon
