A year and a half, did not seem like much time
But it's almost forever, when you're only nine
Yes she still adores him, and tears fill her eyes
As she clings to her pillow, and cries

Daddy come home oh please, Daddy come home
Sweet Daddy, Are you out there somewhere all alone?
Was Mommy mean to you, Did I treat you wrong?
Daddy, Oh Daddy come home

Out on the coast, in a honeymoon sweet
Someones tossing and turning, and trying to sleep
Was that just the wind, in the pines 'cross the bay?
Or a small voice, from so far away

Daddy come home, oh please, Daddy come home
Sweet Daddy, Are you out there somewhere all alone?
Was Mommy mean to you, Did I treat you wrong?
Daddy, Oh Daddy, come home

Daddy, Oh Daddy, come home!
