Daddy's Song
    Years ago I knew a man
  He was my mother's biggest fan
  We used to walk beside the sea
  And he'd tell how my life would be
  When I grew up to be a man
  Years ago we used to play
  He used to laugh when I ran away
  But when I fell and hurt my knee
  He used to come and comfort me
  And the pain would go away
    Years ago I knew a boy
  He was his daddy's pride and joy
  But when the daddy went away
  It was such a rainy day
  That he brought out all his toys
  Now the momma did explain
  Trying to take away the pain
  He just couldn't understand
  That his father was not a man
  And it all was just a game
    Years have passed and so have I
  Making it hard to cry
  And if and when I have a son
  Let it all be said and done
  Let all that sadness pass him by
