Standing in the doorway with a paper in his hand Weary from the road he tries to smile He's all we ever wanted on this lonely afternoon But he can only stay a little while Daddy don't go It's a long hard road without you Daddy you know We still talk about you One more summer has come and gone You know my heart's sinking like a stone Can't remember when he went away But I know it's been too long And I can't make it on my own Daddy don't go It's a long hard road without you Daddy you know We still talk about you Now and then you're with me in my dreams And my dreams are all I got to pull me through Won't you let me tell them you spoke to me today Just someone to comfort so they won't be blue Oh, Daddy Daddy don't go Daddy don't go Daddy don't go.
