Lyrics
Daddy’s Dream
© 1982 Joyce M Davis. All rights reserved.
When she was all of three years old
She’d ask her daddy why
The wind blew so strong and loud at night
And the sun fell, from the sky
She’d ask for one more story
And he’d say, “I suppose”
He’d speak soft and slowly
‘til her eyes began to close
Chorus:
In daddy’s dream he reaches out
For his little girls’ hand
And as he wakes, the years have passed
Like waves upon the sand
He’d watch her from the window
As she played out in the yard
The best throw in the neighborhood
Her knees already scarred
“Honey,” he would say to her,
“Would you like this pretty dress?”
But he knew she wouldn’t go for that
So he never said the rest
Chorus
Am
Never did he disobey
She was her daddy’s pride
Then one day he noticed
That she wasn’t by her side
Daddy’s girl had grown
And gone some miles away
But he knew the phone would ring
And he’d hear he sweet voice say
“Dad, hello, I’m doing fine
How’s mom and are you well?
Goodbye I’ll call again real soon…”
He’d cry but she can’t tell
Chorus
