The love between the two of us was dying
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
But halfway down that driverway when I turned around I saw
My little daughter running after me

Crying daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run
Daddy won't you walk so fast

It broke my heart to tell my little daughter
That her daddy had to run and catch a plane
She had no way of knowing I was leaving home for good
And I turned around there was again crying

Crying daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run
Daddy won't you walk so fast

If only for the sake of my baby
I had to turn back home right there and then
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child
I couldn't bear to hear those words again

She cries daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run
Daddy won't you walk so fast

Daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy won't you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're making me run
Daddy won't you walk so fast
