Emerson Lake And Palmer Daddy Lyrics

Daddy Lyrics

It was a cold night in December 
The snow lay on the ground 
She was coming home from school one night 
From the other side of town 
It was getting late, there was something wrong 
Then I heard the news 
A TV Flash and by 9 o`clock 
They`d found her socks and shoes 

Daddy come and bring me home 

I didn`t know which way to turn 
I was shaking like a leaf 
I got into my car and drove 
Searching every street 
Has anybody seen her 
Have you found my little girl 
She`s all I have, all I possess 
And to me, she means the world 

I can hear her calling 
Daddy come and bring me home 
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home 
Daddy, when are you gonna bring me home 

As time went by each silent night 
We knew all hope was gone 
We knew the light had flickered 
From the eyes that once had shone 
They caught a man in a bar one night 
He confessed to what he`d done 
He`d laid her body out in some dark wood 
Just didn`t know which one, 
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home 
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home 

I just couldn`t leave her out there 
Lying on her own 
`Cause she belongs to me 
And I belong to her 
I know she rests in Heaven 
With the angels on a throne 
But now I hear her calling 
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home 
Daddy come and bring me home 
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home 
Daddy, Daddy come and bring me home
