Daddy Come Home

Oh, oh-oh Daddy's been gone Gone for so long For him, I pray He joined the corps Fighting a war Somewhere far away He promised me he'd return When the Chanukah candles burn So here I wait The blessings I recite By the candlelight But it's getting late Daddy come home Stay with me Let me hold your hand Let me sit upon your knee I see fear In mommy's eyes Every time she cries And tries to comfort me It's scary here at home My mind begins to roam Have I lost you? I hear the phone Mommy's mournful moan It can't be true Daddy come home Stay with me Let me hold your hand Let me sit upon your knee I see fear In mommy's eyes Every time she cries And tries to comfort me Where has he gone? How will I carry on? Tell me, what can I say? I need to pray Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Please hear my plea Send my daddy home to Who's that, I hear Calling my name? I run into his arms Yes, my daddy came Home to me He's on his knees Now he's holding me For all eternity (Now, as night falls) now, as night falls (We stand tall) we stand tall (Eight candles burning bright) eight candles burning bright (And they're lighting up the night) Home at last (home at last) Eyes aglow (eyes aglow) I hug my daddy tight And I'm not letting go
