Cathie Ryan Daddy Lyrics

[Verse]
Daddy, are you coming home tonight
And if you do, do you promise you will be alright
You won't stumble up the stairs
Or fall over the front room chairs
And you and mommy won't get in a fight

[Verse]
Daddy, when you stay out late, mommy cries sometimes
She tells us she's okay, but she keeps on crying
Her face is sad and mad
We wish she'd be more glad
Maybe you could make her laugh sometime

[Verse]
Daddy, if you have some time would you talk to me
And maybe if you look hard enough you'll see
That I'm lonely deep inside
But it's okay 'cause I can hide it
And no one else will ever have to see

[Bridge]
And all the things I feel, I keep inside
And mommy says, 'Don't talk about it”, so I keep quiet
I'll be good, I promise, I'll be good

[Verse]
Daddy, I heard you tell momma that it wasn't true
All the things I know you did, you said you didn't do
You said you didn't wanna hear
That your children live in fear
Daddy, I'm telling now, they do

[Verse]
Daddy, are you coming home tonight
And if you do, do you promise you will be alright
You won't stumble up the stairs
Or fall over the front room chairs
And you and mommy won't get in a fight
