DADDY HOME TODAY One warm San Diego day; They watched as his ship sailed away; And her two toddlers would say; "Daddy gone away, daddy gone away"; Fot they don't understand on this day; Why daddy must sail away. Two long months daddy has been away; And as she rises on this day; Her two toddlers with joy and glee say; "Daddy home today, daddy home today"; But sadly she will say; "Not today, not today, but another day. Four long months daddy has been away; And as they go to the commissary on this day; Her two toddlers with joy and glee say; "Get daddy today, get daddy today?"; And sadly she will say; "Not today, not today, but another day". Six long months daddy has been away; And as she rises on this day; Her two toddlers with joy and glee say; "Daddy home today, daddy home today?"; And to their surprise on this day; She will rejoicefully say, "Yes daddy home today, yes daddy home today.". One warm San Diego day; They watched as his ship sailed away; And her two toddlers will say; "Daddy gone away, daddy gone away"; For they don't understand on this day; Why daddy must sail to the Gulf land far away. But now as she rises every day; She listens to the news as her toddlers say; "Daddy home today, daddy home today", And this time she will only say; "We must hope and pray, Hope and pray; That daddy will be home again some day". Now as she rises on this September day; And watches the tragic events unfold today: Her two toddlers not a word they say; But she knows in their own way; They question, and she will only say; "Because we live in the USA, because we live in the USA". So they watch as his ship sailed away; But now when her toddlers say: "Daddy home today, daddy home today"; She with American spirit and pride will say; "We must hope and pray, hope and pray; That daddy will be home again some day. |
