Daddy's Comin' Home

Verse      I don’t wanna be in my new home,
                It’s so lonely now since my daddy’s gone.
                I dream about us and how it could be
                If he was here with me.

                Mommy and him, they had a big fight
                But he promised me he’d make things right,
                I don’t understand why he went away,
                Oh where is he today?

Chorus     I need him to hold my hand, take away my fears.
                Without him I feel so all alone.
                I need him to hold me tight, dry all my tears.
                Someday soon, daddy’s comin’ home.

Verse      If daddy was here, he’d teach me to ride
                That brand new bike that’s been sittin’ outside.
                Mommy could help and she said she’d try
                But she began to cry.

                So I wait by the window, wishin’ on stars,
                Sayin’ my prayers while i’m watchin’ the cars
                Just hopin’ that one brings him home to stay
                Oh will it be today?

Chorus    Repeat

Bridge     ‘Cross town in a lonely motel room
                His dad looks at the phone.
                He says, “mistakes are made but love prevails,
                I gotta let him know…

Chorus    Repeat
                Daddy’s comin’ home.
                (spoken) daddy’s comin’ home.
