Daddy Don't Go (feat. Patricia Jewel)

The boxes are all taped up, slowly loaded on the truck A kiss on my forehead goodbye Eight years old in the cold I watched him fade down the road Nobody heard me cry Daddy don't go No one can push me high enough on the tire swing And only you know That silly song we like to sing And what about my new bike I don't know how to ride I need you Runnin' by my side Daddy don't go Years started stackin' up, Mom stopped crying as much That collect call took me by surprise He only had a minute or two to say to me I love you But I wouldn't swallow my pride Years of pain raged through my veins The woman in me called him names When he was gone the girl in me cried Daddy don't go No one can push me high enough on the tire swing And only you know That silly song we like to sing And what about my new bike I still can't ride I need you Runnin' by my side Daddy don't go A nurse called me up to say your daddy checked in today A visit from you is all we can do for him He listed me as next of kin but I wasn't givin' in I stayed home and prayed for him Daddy don't go We don't know each other well enough for you to leave me now Daddy don't go Don't go Don't go Daddy don't go
