Did You See My Daddy Over There Lyrics

DID YOU SEE MY DADDY OVER THERE 

WRITER BILL SHOWMET



A little boy tugged gently at a soldier's khaki sleeve He says forgive me
mister but you've been across I believe I see the purple heart you were it
tells what you've been through Perhaps you know my daddy sir because he's a
soldier too Did you see my daddy mister soldier When you were fighting over
there? I thought perhaps by chance You met him there in France Or somewhere
over there across the sea It's been so long since daddy went away My mommy
longs for him both night and day I know it would make her glad if you had seen
my dad Did you see my daddy over there? The soldier's eyes grew misty as he
watched the boy's face For it recalled a memory that time can not erase A buddy
lost in action, the best pal he ever had Till death he carried o'r his heart a
picture of this lad Did you see my daddy mister soldier When you were fighting
over there? I thought perhaps by chance You met him there in France Or
somewhere over there across the sea It's been so long since daddy went away My
mommy longs for him both night and day I know it would make her glad if you had
seen my dad Did you see my daddy over there?
