(Daddy my daddy teach me how to pray)
|
One night I sleep with a little boy now beside my bed
|
He smiled, looked into my eyes and this is what he said
|
Daddy my daddy you've taught me lots today
|
So daddy my daddy teach me how to pray
|
You brought me home a brand new kite, and you showed me how to fly it
|
And there is no other kite that was there that could lock above so high
|
I'd like to thank God for you but I don't know what to say
|
So daddy my daddy teach me how to pray
|
I had to turn and leave his room and he began to cry
|
I didn't want my boy to know but (pause) so did I
|
His best pal had failed him but, what was there to say
|
For daddy, his daddy, had forgotten how to pray
