Little boy running through the yard

Fell and skinned his heart

And later climbed up in a tree

As he looked into the sky he began to cry

And said "Daddy why'd you leave?"



Call me daddy, I'm feelin' blue

Call me daddy, I need to talk to you

Call me daddy, help me through

And then he bowed his head to pray

"Call me dad"



The little boy became a man

Found a bride and took her hand

And made a baby all their own

As he looked in that baby's eyes, as the baby cried

He swore, "You'll never be alone"



Call me daddy when you're feelin' blue

Call me daddy and I'll talk to you

Call me daddy and I'll help you through

And then he bowed his head to pay

"Call me dad"



Another life has come and gone

Another baby's grown

And stands alone against the world

As he looks into the sky, he begins to cry

And says, "daddy I miss you"



Call me daddy, I'm feelin' blue

Call me daddy, I need to talk to you

Call me daddy, help me through

And then he bowed his head to pray

"Call me dad"
