Barbara Ray - To Daddy Lyrics
Official




Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
If she did
She never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did
She never did say so to daddy

The only thing that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make her house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted any more than what she had
If she did
She never did say so to daddy

He upped and left her all alone
But she didn't mind us staying home
If she did
She never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers
And the cards he never sent her
If she did
She never did say so to daddy

Being took for granted
Was a thing that she accepted
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice
That he didn't kiss and hold her
If she did
She never did say so to daddy

One morning we awoke
Just to find a note
Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
And as he began to read it
Our ears could not believe it
Words she had written there to daddy

She said, the kids are older now
They don't need me very much
And I'm gonna search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
But I just can't keep holding on
She never meant come back home
If she did
She never did say so to daddy

Goodbye daddy
