The Monkees - Daddy's Song lyrics
[The Monkees - Daddy's Song lyrics]
Years ago I knew a man
He was my mother's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And told me how life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He would run to comfort me
And the pain would go away
Years ago I knew a boy
He was his daddy's pride and joy
But when the daddy went away
It was such a rainy day
That he brought out all his toys
Now, the momma did explain
Tryin' to take away the pain
But he just couldn't understand
That his father was not a man
And it all was just a game
The years have passed and so have I
Makin' it hard for me to cry
And if and when I have a son
Let it all be said and done
Let the sadness pass him by
Years ago I knew a man
He was my mother's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he told me how life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He would run to comfort me
And the pain would go away
He was my mother's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And told me how life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He would run to comfort me
And the pain would go away
Years ago I knew a boy
He was his daddy's pride and joy
But when the daddy went away
It was such a rainy day
That he brought out all his toys
Now, the momma did explain
Tryin' to take away the pain
But he just couldn't understand
That his father was not a man
And it all was just a game
The years have passed and so have I
Makin' it hard for me to cry
And if and when I have a son
Let it all be said and done
Let the sadness pass him by
Years ago I knew a man
He was my mother's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he told me how life would be
When I grew up to be a man
Years ago we used to play
He used to laugh when I ran away
But when I fell and hurt my knee
He would run to comfort me
And the pain would go away
